Annual Report to Governor, General Assembly, & Maryland Transit Administration due Dec. 1 (Chapter 504, Acts of 2023 (PDF file, external website, opens in new tab); Code Transportation Article, sec. 7-213).
In October 2023, the Baltimore Regional Transit Commission was authorized by the General Assembly (Chapter 504, Acts of 2023 (PDF file, external website, opens in new tab)).
The Commission advocated for the Baltimore region public transit systems maintained by the Maryland Transit Administration. It requested and reviewed information from the Annual Attainment Report and the Maryland Transit Administration concerning the attainment of Administration goals, including performance goals and metrics. It also evaluated other measures of the performance of the Baltimore region transit system; and issued written recommendations concerning how the results of the Commission's review and evaluation should influence the Administration's priorities in future years.
On a quarterly basis, the Commission reviewed and commented on Maryland Transit Administration proposals and reports of changes in service. As part of the development of the draft and final Consolidated Transportation Program, the Commission reviewed and commented on the Administration's annual operating and capital budget requests for the Baltimore region, including those for bus, light rail, Metro, commuter bus, MARC service, and paratransit.
Further, the Commission reviewed and approved any update to the Central Maryland Regional Transit Plan; reviewed and commented on the Capital Needs Inventory Report; and reviewed local transit plans and services in the Baltimore region to ensure coordination between the local transit services and the Maryland Transit Administration. In carrying out its duties, the Commission strove to ensure that Maryland Transit Administration plans, budgets, decisions, policies, goals, priorities, operations, and services address the public transit needs of residents and businesses in the Baltimore region.
The Commission had seventeen members. The Chair and Vice-Chair were chosen by the Commission every two years (Code Transportation Article, sec. 7-213).
On October 1, 2026, authorization for the Commission was repealed by the General Assembly (Chapters 419 & 420, Acts of 2026).
