MDTA Police Policies & FOP MOU

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police is committed to transparency and open communication with the customers and public we proudly serve. In that effort, the MDTA Police publishes our policies, known as Directives, for public view. These directives guide the administrative and operational work for the members of the agency. While every situation is unique, these directives help guide the actions of our highly-trained employees as they perform their duties.

Directives are regularly updated, revised, and sometimes rescinded to better serve the citizens and the MDTA Police. Pursuant to Maryland Code Annotated, Public Safety Article § 3-515(b), there are some directives that have been withheld because it has been determined by the Chief of the MDTA Police that the release of those directives could jeopardize operations or compromise officer or public safety.

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.

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.

Want to learn more about CHART operations? Hear additional insight from the CHART Field Training & Certification Manager and Division Chief of Regional Operations on the Serious About Safety Hub page.
