In October 2023, the Baltimore Regional Transit Commission was authorized by the General Assembly (Chapter 504, Acts of 2023).
The Commission advocates for the Baltimore region public transit systems maintained by the Maryland Transit Administration. It requests and reviews information from the Annual Attainment Report and the Maryland Transit Administration concerning the attainment of Administration goals, including performance goals and metrics. It also evaluates other measures of the performance of the Baltimore region transit system; and issues written recommendations concerning how the results of the Commission’s review and evaluation should influence the Administration’s priorities in future years.
On a quarterly basis, the Commission reviews and comments on Maryland Transit Administration proposals and reports of changes in service. As part of the development of the draft and final Consolidated Transportation Program, the Commission reviews and comments on the Administration’s annual operating and capital budget requests for the Baltimore region, including those for bus, light rail, Metro, commuter bus, MARC service, and paratransit.
Further, The Commission reviews and approves any update to the Central Maryland Regional Transit Plan; reviews and comments on the Capital Needs Inventory Report; and reviews local transit plans and services in the Baltimore region to ensure coordination between the local transit services and the Maryland Transit Administration. In carrying out its duties, the Commission strives to ensure that the Maryland Transit Aadministration’s plans, budgets, decisions, policies, goals, priorities, operations, and services address the public transit needs of residents and businesses in the Baltimore region.
The Commission has seventeen members. The Chair and Vice-Chair are chosen by the Commission every two years (Code Transportation Article, sec. 7-213).
