  • MARC Cornerstone Plan Was Developed to Be Consistent with the Goals of the MDOT Maryland Transportation Plan (MTP)
    CORNERSTONE PLAN MARYLAND AREA REGIONAL COMMUTER Administrator’s Message Dear Maryland Residents, The Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA) has been providing transit services to the State for almost 50 years since its inception as the Metropolitan Transit Authority in 1969. Today, MDOT MTA operates the 12th largest multimodal transit system in the country with over 300,000 daily riders, five transit modes, and paratransit service, while providing support to locally operated transit systems throughout Maryland. In our MARC train operations, MDOT MTA operates 42 stations along 190 miles of track, with employees committed to managing, maintaining, and operating this system that delivers service to nearly 40,000 patrons daily. MDOT MTA is committed to improving the transit experience for our customers every day. To this end, we have adopted the following vision statement: To provide safe, efficient, and reliable transit across Maryland with world-class customer service. MDOT MTA’s Cornerstone Plans translate this vision statement into strategic priorities, policies, programs, and initiatives for each of our transit modes. We are committed to responsibly managing our assets, from rail cars to stations, in a manner that supports our operational demands while seeking ways to enhance our customers’ experience. Each Cornerstone Plan synthesizes MDOT MTA plans, policies, and reports, with performance data, local and national trends, and stakeholder input. MDOT MTA comprehensively analyzes this information to create targeted recommendations for investment in each mode that coordinate with the needs of the transit system overall. This Cornerstone Plan highlights MDOT MTA’s long-term plans and priorities for MARC Train over the next 25 years.

    governor’s message Martin O’Malley Maryland has a proud history of investing in transportation to improve the quality of life for its citizens and support its diverse range of businesses. The Maryland Transit Administration is a key element for ensuring that our state’s workforce has a way to get to where the jobs are, and for businesses to rely on a labor market that is supported by a dependable, comprehensive and interconnected transportation system. Looking ahead to public transportation’s impact on future generations, the goals of reducing air pollution, easing traffic congestion and building a 21st Century transportation network are no less important. The O’Malley Administration is committed to enhancing the scope, quality and efficiency of public transportation as a fundamental tool to create jobs and expand opportunity for all of Maryland’s citizens and business community alike. Maryland Transit Administration Annual Report 2012 | Transit Matters secretary’s message Darrell B. Mobley This is an exciting time for transportation initiatives in Maryland, and I have been honored to help further the choices that will most effectively meet the needs of our citizens and industries. Transit does indeed matter to the health and well-being of our state, and the O’Malley Administration has been committed to addressing a wide range of vital transportation needs that are so necessary for future growth. These include the Light Rail Purple Line between Bethesda and New Carrollton, the Light Rail Red Line through Baltimore, and the Corridor Cities Transitway in Montgomery County. With a new emphasis on improved connectivity and the enhanced economic development that is the promise of each of these projects and many others, Maryland is poised to maintain its leadership as the “smart, green and growing” state.
