| Maryland’s 23 counties and the City of Baltimore have the opportunity to submit an annual “Transportation Priorities Letter” to help inform the Department of local governments’ needs as the draft Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) is developed each year. Priority Letters identify the desired State capital investments deemed most important by local governments, and convey a general consensus position of each jurisdiction’s state and local elected officials. Priority Letters typically include requests for a wide variety of project funding, from major transit and highway capacity improvements, to bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The Governor and the Department give these local priorities strong consideration in determining which projects will ultimately be funded in the CTP. |
