Our transportation system facilitates economic growth, fosters job creation, supports business development and improves our overall quality of life.

This report will detail our progress on major projects, including our commitment of an unprecedented additional $2 billion in shovel-ready infrastructure projects, restoration of hundreds of millions of dollars in highway user revenues to local governments, and the replacement or repair of every structurally deficient state-owned bridge. We have exceeded expectations with our success stories at the Port of Baltimore and BWI Marshall Airport. Maryland is now welcoming the world by accommodating some of the largest containers ships on the East Coast, especially those new larger ships coming through the Panama Canal. And, BWI Marshall Airport has set an all-time record high of nearly 24 million passengers coming through the gates of our airport. We are focused on improving our transportation infrastructure with the transformative Baltimore LARRY HOGAN Link Transit System, which is a long-term commitment to major improvements for mass transit in the Baltimore region. We have dedicated $765 million in funding for the construction of a new GOVERNOR Harry W. Nice Memorial Bridge, which is essential to thousands of Marylanders who depend on this bridge for work, business and recreation.
