Annapolis, Maryland – In order to adequately enhance the state’s economic growth and quality of life, Maryland will need to make numerous improvements to its transportation system. This is according to a new report released today by TRIP, a Washington, DC based national transportation research organization.
TRIP’s report, “The Top 40 Transportation Projects to Support Economic Growth and Quality of Life in Maryland,” identifies and ranks the projects needed to provide Maryland with a transportation system that can support the increased movement of people, goods and resources throughout the state. The most needed transportation improvements in Maryland include projects to build, expand or modernize the state’s highways, bridges and public transit systems. These improvements would enhance economic development opportunities throughout the state by increasing mobility and freight movement, easing congestion, and making Maryland an attractive place to live, visit and do business.
According to the TRIP report, the following are the top ten most needed projects for Maryland’s economic growth.
A full list of needed projects, descriptions and their impact on economic development can be found in the appendix of the report.
