About Maryland

Ranked 19th in Population, 5th in Density (5.8 million people, 2010)Baltimore-Washington region one of most congested in US

US in microcosm with diverse geography – Appalachian ranges, Chesapeake Bay watershed and 3190miles of coastline

About MD Department of Transportation (MDOT)

MDOT has direct supervision over all aspects of transportation in the State of Maryland.

$3.6 billion annual budget funded through a common state Transportation Trust Fund. 

Funds two major urban transit systems, MTA in the Baltimore region and the WMATA in the Washington region. MTA served 415,000 riders/ weekday in 2011. 

Port of Baltimore is the fastest growing port in the US . One of the few deep water east coast ports to handle Large vessels (expected after Panama Canal Expansion)

BWI Airport served more than 22.4 million passengers in 2011. Ranked 6thin the nation for customer service and convenience by Travel & Leisure Magazine.

About MD State Highway Administration

One of the six modals of the MDOT

SHA system is the backbone of MD’s transportation system that provides mobility and access for people and goods. SHA operates, maintains and rebuilds the numbered, non-toll routes.

SHA roads carry 65% of the state’s traffic and 85% of its truck freight.

FY 11 Funding: $1.15 Billion

5

New State Funding6

• Federal Motor Fuel Tax – • Since 1993: $0.184 per gallon of gasoline

• State Motor Fuel Tax – • 1993-2013: $0.235 per gallon of gasoline• 2013:

• Indexes $0.235/gallon to CPI• 1% sales tax on gasoline• 2015 = sales tax raised to 2% • 2016 = sales tax raised to 3%• 2017 = sales tax raised to 4%• Could go up to 5% if internet sales tax does not pass

Current SHA Challenges and Opportunities

One of the most congested regions in the US

Financial and Environmental Constraints

Focus on System Preservation and Efficiency with sustainable practices

Need to maintain economic competitiveness in the region and citizens’ quality of life

Support Administration’s “Smart Green and Growing” efforts thru’ Plan Maryland and MD Transportation Plan

Build robustness in the system to handle shocks and uncertainty - natural, social, economic etc.

MAP 21 Ready

Current SHA Business Plan performance measures could be used/ modified to meet MAP 21 requirements.

SHA is linking the MAP 21 measures and StateStat measures using spatial (GIS) and dashboard interfaces

SHA will work with MTA and other transit agencies to make sure that transit performance targets are achieved

Linking performance based systems to programming decisions

SHA will work continue work on the following: Asset Management Plans Strategic Highway Safety Plan CMAQ Performance Plan State Freight Plan

37

SHA and MPO Coordination

SHA and MDOT will coordinate with BMC, MWCOG and other MPOs to

select performance targets for consistency

integrate performance plans into the planning process Source: USDOT MAP 21 Presentation
