  • Existing Services Chapter 4 Existing Services
    Chapter 4: Existing Services Chapter 4 Existing Services OVERVIEW OF EXISTING TRANSIT SERVICES This TDP is intended to address future transit services over a five-year period in Howard County and Anne Arundel County, and this chapter provides an overview of existing transit services in the region. Howard and Anne Arundel Counties are jointly served by the Regional Transit Agency of Central Maryland (RTA), which provides fixed-route service in both counties, ADA complementary paratransit, and demand-response service for seniors and persons with disabilities in Howard County. The RTA also provides fixed-route service in Prince George’s County, which is addressed in this plan as it is an integral part of RTA service offerings. The study region is also served by other transit providers. Central Maryland is located between the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas, and there are transit routes from each urban area linking them with the RTA, including Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) services from Howard and Anne Arundel Counties to Baltimore; and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) services providing connections from Anne Arundel County (Thurgood Marshall Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI) and Crofton) to the Washington Metro rail system; and in the City of Laurel and Prince George’s County. In addition, there are regional services provided by the MTA through its MARC commuter rail services and commuter bus program. There are also intercity connections in the region, including Amtrak. Specialized transportation services, including demand-response service for seniors and persons with disabilities are provided by the Anne Arundel County Office of Transportation (OOT), and similar services are provided by the RTA for Howard County.
