The Maryland Department of Transportation said it has released its $22.1 billion Final Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) for Fiscal Years 2026 to 2031.
The Final CTP outlines the funding plan that prioritizes safety and reliability while driving economic growth statewide. Consistent with the Draft CTP, the plan includes an additional $400 million in transportation revenues. The department said it is utilizing these additional state dollars to unlock more federal funding, using the money as matching funds.
“The Final CTP builds on the Moore-Miller Administration’s goals to make transportation across the state safer, more reliable and more efficient while also increasing affordability, accessibility and resiliency,” Maryland Department of Transportation Acting Secretary Katie Thomson said. “This program will get transportation priorities back on track and rev up Maryland’s economy.”
The Final CTP includes commitments to construct US 15 and I-81 in Western Maryland, modernize the light rail system in Baltimore and rehabilitate the Port of Baltimore’ Dundalk Marine Terminal Berths 11-13, as well as other projects. The state will also complete street efforts for MD 97 in Montgomery Hills and MD 5 in St. Mary’s County, as well as congestion reduction efforts for I-97 in Anne Arundel County. Lastly, the program also includes $10 million in Fiscal Year 2026 and 2027 to support feasibility studies advancing local and state priority highway, pedestrian, bicycle and transit projects through initial planning.
Final CTP outlines capital investments funded by the Transportation Trust Fund: Maryland Aviation Administration, Maryland Port Administration, Maryland Transit Administration, Motor Vehicle Administration, State Highway Administration and The Secretary’s Office, as well as Maryland’s investment in the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority.
