Capital Program

Consolidated Transportation Program

Each year the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) releases its portion of the Maryland Department of Transportation's Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP) report. The MDTA portion of the CTP presents its ongoing and new capital projects for a six-year period (the current year, the upcoming budget year and the four succeeding planning years) for its facilities. It also describes how the MDTA will fund these programs to achieve its goals. The Draft CTP report is presented to local elected officials and citizens in September through November throughout Maryland for review and comments. It is then revised and submitted as a Final CTP report as part of the Governor's budget to the Maryland General Assembly in January.

The CTP is separated into three parts:

  1. Construction Program Major Projects,
  2. Development and Evaluation (D&E) Program Major Projects, and
  3. System Preservation Minor Projects.

Major Capital projects are listed individually; Minor projects (i.e., safety, rehabilitation) are grouped and shown by facility.

The Construction and System Preservation Minor Projects programs include those projects which are scheduled to begin construction within the six-year period.  Project work phases included in the CTP are:

  1. Planning,
  2. Design & Engineering,
  3. Right-of-way Acquisition, and
  4. Construction.

The D&E Program contains those major projects, that are being prepared for possible future addition to the Construction Program. Projects are added to the Construction program as funds become available and as design is advanced significantly, based on the merits of the projects, and as workload allows. Work phases included in the D&E Program are Planning and Engineering and sometimes Right-of-way Acquisition.

The CTP process objectives:

  1. Identify revisions to the current Capital Program.
  2. Identify, select and prioritize new projects to be added to the Capital Program that meet the MDTA's goals and priorities. Projects selection criteria includes:
    • Convenience
      • Move people and goods conveniently.
      • Preserve and improve MDTA facilities.
    • Safety
      • Reduce the fatal and injury vehicle collision rate.
      • Reduce workplace accidents.
    • Security
      • Protect people and property from unlawful activity.
    • Economic Development
      • Finance and build new transportation facilities with the Maryland Department of Transportation to meet Maryland's transportation needs.
    • Service
      • Respond professionally to customers' needs for assistance and information.

Serious About Safety: CHART’s Role in Keeping Maryland Moving

This month’s Serious About Safety feature highlights the Coordinated Highways Action Response Team (CHART) and the work its teams do every day to help keep Maryland’s roadways safe.

CHART Emergency Response Technicians respond to crashes, disabled vehicles, roadway hazards, and other incidents, often while working alongside fast-moving traffic. Their jobs come with risks, which is why it is important for drivers to slow down and give roadside responders the space they need to work safely.

Potomac

In this month’s video, Brian Knott, an Emergency Response Technician with CHART at the State Highway Administration, shares more about his role, the safety challenges CHART teams face, and what drivers can do to help protect roadside workers. The feature also highlights Maryland’s Move Over law. When approaching a stopped emergency, service, or maintenance vehicle with its warning lights activated, drivers are required to move over when it is safe to do so. If moving over is not possible, drivers must slow down and proceed with caution.

Watch Brian’s video below to learn more about CHART and the importance of the Move Over law.
