Baltimore Regional Transit Commission
Overview
The Baltimore Regional Transit Commission (BRTC) was established by Chapter 504, Acts of 2023 to review and comment on annual budget requests of the Maryland Department of Transportation - Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT-MTA), provide updates to the Central Maryland Transportation Plan and various annual reports, and to perform oversight and advocacy duties related to Baltimore region transit services. The BRTC comprises representatives from local government, transportation, industry, business, transit riders, transit advocacy and labor organizations; and several members of the Moore-Miller Administration.
The BRTC emerged as one of a series of recommendations made by the Baltimore Regional Transit Governance and Funding Workgroup, an entity established by the Baltimore Metropolitan Council’s Board of Directors in July 2022 who charged the Workgroup with examining transit governance and funding issues in the region.
The commission welcomes the public to attend its meetings. Meetings are scheduled thru 2024 and can be found in the box titled "Meeting and Events" on the right side of this page.
Purpose and Mission
Local stakeholders have lacked influence on how the regional transit network is planned, built, operated and funded in our region. The Baltimore Regional Transit Commission was created to provide input, advice and support for the operations of MTA’s core service network in the Baltimore region. Specifically the Baltimore Regional Transit Commission is to provide local and stakeholder perspective and comment on MDOT-MTA and Locally Operated Transit System activities in the Baltimore region.
Membership
Members were selected by Governor Wes Moore, Baltimore City Mayor Brandon Scott, Baltimore County Executive John “Johnny O” Olszewski, Jr., Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman, and Howard County Executive Calvin Ball III (see full roster below). The Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) and the Maryland Department of Transportation – Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT-MTA) provide support to the Commission.

BRTB comparte conceptos para el segmento del Patapsco Regional Greenway en Stoney Run
BALTIMORE, MD (miércoles 17 de enero de 2024) – El Consejo Metropolitano de Baltimore (BMC) está comenzando a planificar un sendero de cuatro millas que conectará Elkridge Main Street con BWI Trail en Stoney Run Road. Un período de comentarios públicos sobre los planes preliminares se cerrará el 16 de febrero de 2024 e incluirá una reunión en la sucursal de Elkridge de la biblioteca del condado de Howard el 6 de febrero a las 6 p.m.
El sendero será parte de Patapsco Regional Greenway (PRG), un sendero de uso compartido previsto de 40 millas que conectará el puerto interior de Baltimore con Sykesville en el condado de Carroll a lo largo del valle de Patapsco. El sendero se conectará con otro segmento en desarrollo del PRG en Elkridge Main Street y se extenderá hacia el sur para conectarse con el sendero BWI existente, ampliando las conexiones disponibles para ciclistas, peatones, jinetes y otros usuarios.
BMC está colaborando con el condado de Anne Arundel, el condado de Howard y el Departamento de Recursos Naturales de Maryland para desarrollar planes para el sendero.
Este período de comentarios inicial invita al público a opinar desde el principio sobre el concepto. Otro período de comentarios a finales de este año presentará rutas propuestas para revisión pública, y un tercer período de comentarios invitará al público a compartir comentarios adicionales sobre una única "alineación preferida" antes de que avance el diseño y la construcción. Estos períodos de comentarios buscan garantizar que podamos considerar sus comentarios en cada etapa de la planificación.

BALTIMORE, MD (Wednesday, January 17, 2024) – Baltimore Metropolitan Council (BMC) is beginning plans for a four mile trail connecting Elkridge Main Street to the BWI Trail at Stoney Run Road. A public comment period on the preliminary plans will close on February 16, 2024, and will include a meeting at the Howard County Library Elkridge Branch on February 6 at 6 p.m.
The trail will be part of the Patapsco Regional Greenway (PRG), an envisioned 40-mile shared-use trail connecting Baltimore’s Inner Harbor to Sykesville in Carroll County along the Patapsco Valley. The trail will connect with another developing segment of the PRG at Elkridge Main Street, and extend south to connect with the existing BWI Trail, expanding the connections available to bicyclists, pedestrians, equestrian riders and other users.
BMC is collaborating with Anne Arundel County, Howard County and the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to develop plans for the trail.
This initial comment period invites members of the public to weigh in early on the concept. Another comment period later this year will present proposed routes for public review, and a third comment period will invite members of the public to share additional feedback on a single ‘preferred alignment’ before design and construction moves ahead. These comment periods seek to ensure that we can consider your feedback at every stage of planning.
