Free.” service throughout downtown Baltimore 362 days per year, with hours of service varying by day type and by season. Key characteristics of each route: Purple Route- runs north - south from Federal Hill to Historic Mount Vernon. Ten (10) minute headways require six (6) buses to operate.

  • History of MDOT MTA and the Lots System
    History of Transit Organization in the Baltimore Region Transit Agencies and Service Development in the Baltimore Region OVERVIEW The Baltimore Regional Transit Governance and Funding Study will develop alternatives for how the region could structure, organize, and fund regional transit services. The approach to developing these alternatives includes working with the Baltimore Regional Transit Board (BRTB) through an iterative process of research, analysis, and stakeholder input to ensure that the alternatives are grounded in experience, respectful of history and constraints, but creative enough to recognize opportunities. This technical memo, the first in the series, focuses on the history and development of transit services in the Baltimore Region. The first step involves focusing on the history and development of transit Image from Creative Commons: ETLamborghini services in the Baltimore region to understand how the existing service network came to be and provides the context for why some regional services are operated by the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) and others by Locally Operated Transit Systems (LOTS). Our goal is that by understanding the historical perspective, we will understand the transit network, its origins and evolution and its current form. The overview and historical perspective include the development and evolution of: • State leadership for local transit services in the City of Baltimore. • State leadership for regional transit services, including the MARC commuter rail system and the Commuter Bus program.

  • Baltimore Convention: Charm City Circulator Tour
    Baltimore Convention: Charm City Circulator virtual tour Getting around in Baltimore to the many attractions is very easy. There is no need to have your own car unless you wish to travel outside Baltimore. There are many modes of mass transportation available - from bus to rail, subway, and even water taxi. And the best by far – since it is free – is the Charm City Circulator bus system. A simple way to check out Baltimore is to take the Circulator bus routes through the various sections of the city. Here, let me take you on a virtual tour. We will start out by boarding the Orange Route westward from our Holiday Inn hotel. The bus stop is at Pratt and Lombard Streets, on the corner opposite the hotel front entrance, and a bus comes along about every 10 minutes. As we ride into Baltimore’s Westside we pass the Fallon Federal Building and the Bromo Seltzer Tower before making a turn past the multiple-block University of Maryland campus. The bus turns eastward after reaching the Hollis Market, passing the B&O Railroad Museum. This museum is well worth the time for anyone interested in seeing railroad heavy metal up close and personal. After passing the University of Maryland and the Medical Center again, the bus goes south to Pratt Street where it passes the Babe Ruth Museum, the Oriole's ballpark at Camden Yards, and the Baltimore Convention Center, located in the block behind the Holiday Inn. Continuing eastward we pass the Inner Harbor, with the Gallaria and HarborPlace – a mecca of shopping opportunities – and the National Aquarium.

    Annual Complete Streets Report July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017 I am pleased to provide the attached “Annual Complete Streets Report” for Fiscal Year 2017. The report captures the efforts of the Baltimore City Department of Transportation for the previous year and provides comparative data in an effort to measure performance. As you will see, based on the items provided, although projects have progressed, performance in some area appears to be lagging. This report will be used as a baseline for reinvigorating this initiative, in keeping with a more comprehensive approach to addressing citywide transportation and livability needs. We look forward to working with you to build a comprehensive transportation plan for the City of Baltimore that prioritizes complete streets and safety.
