Governor Wes Moore announced a new transportation coalition Thursday to support his administration’s proposed $420 million annual investment in statewide infrastructure projects.
The MOVE (Mobilizing Opportunities for Vital Economic Growth) Maryland Coalition will support Maryland’s transportation investment projects
“You cannot have economic mobility without physical mobility,” Moore said during the announcement alongside local officials and transportation advocates. “In partnership, we will create jobs, grow our economy, and make transportation across our state safer and more reliable for all.”
The investment plan includes funding for highway safety improvements on I-81 and US 15, bridge repairs, roadway resurfacing, and rehabilitation of Baltimore’s Light Rail system. It also allocates funds to enhance the Port of Baltimore’s economic competitiveness.
State transportation officials expect to leverage federal funding to expand the annual investment to $695 million in new resources for Maryland’s Transportation Trust Fund.
