MDTA POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS TARGET DANGEROUS DRIVING NEAR THE BAY BRIDGE

Additional Enforcement Initiatives Planned throughout the Summer

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 19, 2024) – Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police Officers conducted high visibility traffic enforcement along US-50 near the Bay Bridge on Friday in an effort to reduce crashes and educate motorists prior to Memorial Day weekend and the busy summer travel season. MDTA Police Officers were joined by troopers from the Maryland State Police, officers from the Anne Arundel County Police Department and deputies from the Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff.

Officers focused on leading causes of crashes including aggressive and distracted driving as well as violations of the “Red X” overhead lane signals near the Bay Bridge. Officers conducted 189 traffic stops and issued a combined 277 citations, warnings and repair orders during the initiative. One driver was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, and two drivers were charged with drug offenses.

Additional enforcement efforts are planned at the Bay Bridge and other MDTA facilities throughout the summer travel months. To report dangerous driving on Maryland toll roads, contact MDTA Police Dispatch at 410-537-7911.

Those charged with a crime are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Following unanimous approval from the Board of Public Works, the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) will begin construction to expand and modernize the MARC train storage facilities at the Martin Maintenance Yard in Baltimore County. Expanding storage capacity at the rail yard is a key component to delivering more frequent service that better serve existing, changing and new travel markets as outlined in the MARC Growth and Transformation Plan.

Hello

The project scope includes increased storage capacity for MARC Trains at the Martin Maintenance Yard (located near Martin State Airport), new tracks with catenary electrification, crossover tracks, a new inspection pit, and equipment that includes water hydrants, air piping extensions and light fixtures to support train car maintenance. The $35 million investment in improvements and increased capacity for the Martin Maintenance Yard is set to begin later this fall, with completion slated for summer 2027. It is supported by a discretionary grant from the Federal Railroad Administration’s Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program.
