    WHAT IS BALTIMORELINK? BaltimoreLink is a complete overhaul and rebranding of the core transit system operating within Baltimore City and the surrounding region. Many of MTA’s current bus routes are outdated, and BaltimoreLink will improve service through a more reliable and efficient network. BaltimoreLink also includes transfer facilities, dedicated bus lanes, signal priority, and improved bus stop signs, among many other improvements. To deliver an interconnected transit network, existing MTA bus and rail services will be restructured and renamed: • CityLink: Twelve new high-frequency, color-coded bus routes will connect with each other, as well as Metro SubwayLink, Light RailLink, MARC Train, Commuter Bus, Amtrak, and other services, into one integrated transit network. • LocalLink (currently Local Bus): LocalLink routes will provide comprehensive crosstown connections and improved connections to neighborhoods and communities throughout the system. • Express BusLink (currently Express Bus): Express BusLink will include several existing Express Bus services that provide suburb-to- city connections and recently launched routes providing suburb-to-suburb connections. Typically, Express Bus routes have fewer stops and use higher speed roads. • Light RailLink (currently Light Rail): Light Rail service will operate along the same line but with improved connections to buses. • Metro SubwayLink (currently Metro Subway): This service will not change but will have improved connections to buses. baltimorelink.com | 1 BETTER BUS STOPS BALTIMORELINK RESOURCE INFORMATION To create a better rider experience by providing information you can use, the MTA will be All MTA routes will change under installing new bus stop signs throughout the BaltimoreLink.

  • Baltimore Chapter of Lambda Alpha International
    The occasion of the Spring 2018 Land Economics Weekend has been a cause for much enthusiasm at the Baltimore Chapter of Lambda Alpha International. It has offered us an opportunity to showcase our City and region, to be introspective, proud, and maybe even boastful at times. But most of all, the Land Economics Weekend has afforded us a way to demonstrate our hospitality to our guests from around North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia while introducing you to our home and its many features. The weekend is short, so we cannot show all that we would wish to show you. We are fortunate to live in an historic and vibrant City, region and economy which has provided us many assets, opportunities and qualities that we love. We welcome our LAI guests, and hope we can share with you our enthusiasm for Baltimore. This Preview was crafted to provide you a first look at Baltimore. Enjoy your visit. After the LEW, we hope you will return to see and experience more than we can present to you this weekend. James S.
