Smart Transportation in Maryland

摘要

I would like to spend some time this morning following up on a number of the remarks that Governor Glendening made yesterday. I will talk about how the broad vision and policies translate into specific programs that we have implemented at MDOT to ensure that the transportation program supports the visions that Governor Glendening talked about. I'm going to give you an overview of the smart growth program in Maryland to set the context, discuss our policy approach to what we call "smart transportation," explain how Maryland's transportation investments have changed since the smart growth program was first implemented in 1997, talk specifically about some of our smart growth-related transportation programs, and then very briefly touch on changes in transportation projects to make them compatible with smart growth.
