Can Maryland afford to build a Red Line?

Demand for transportation projects in Maryland far outpaces available revenue. Priorities and goals are set in the six-year Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP). As part of a continuing statewide planning process, a Draft CTP is developed annually in concert with Maryland’s 24 political subdivisions. This Draft CTP is presented to local elected officials and citizens for review and comment. The CTP is then revised and submitted for approval as part of the Governor’s budget to the General Assembly in January. Every year, priorities within the CTP are adjusted, based on local and regional needs and available revenue. If the Red Line gains federal approval, Maryland will have to revise priorities within the CTP or add additional funds to the Transportation Trust Fund.
