Maryland Transportation Acting Secretary Samantha Biddle discussed the department’s Draft Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) for Fiscal Years 2026 to 2031 with officials from Caroline, Talbot and Dorchester counties on Tuesday.
The meetings are part of the Maryland Department of Transportation’s tour of every county and Baltimore to discuss the funding plan and receive feedback from local officials and the public.
The $21.5 billion spending plan outlines capital investments for six years for each mode funded by the Transportation Trust Fund. It funds projects and programs that enhance safety and maintain the state’s transportation system.
“Listening and engaging with local elected leaders and Marylanders is critical in successfully delivering the state’s capital program,” Biddle said. “The feedback we receive helps us to better serve the state and deliver a program that aligns with our shared goals to uplift communities and enhance connections to opportunities.”
Transportation officials offered details and updates of several projects and programs at Tuesday’s meeting.
Several other transportation officials attended and provided updates including officials from the State Highway Administration, Maryland Transit Administration, Motor Vehicle Administration, Maryland Aviation Administration, Maryland Port Administration and Maryland Transportation Authority.
The tour ends in November. The agency will finalize the plan and submit the final version to the Legislature in January for consideration during the 2026 General Assembly session.
