Transportation System Performance Highlights for
2009

• MDOT's performance is summarized below by the
  goals set in the current MTP Quality of
  Service, Safety Security, System Preservation
  Performance, Environmental Stewardship and
  Connectivity for Daily Life.
• QUALITY OF SERVICE Marylands transportation
  agencies recognize that simply building
  additional transportation infrastructure is not
  sufficient to meet future demands for travel.
  Effective management of existing investments is
  necessary to maximize the user experience and
  provide quality of life benefits for Maryland
  residents. Like many states, Maryland continues
  to pursue quality improvements in a constrained
  budget environment. Across the State
  transportation network, MDOT faces escalating
  user demand, rising maintenance and user costs,
  and an aging infrastructure.
• Maintaining and improving service against these
  growing challenges requires close coordination
  between agencies. This is why Marylands Modal
  Administrations and MdTA practice organizational
  strategies and best-value practices designed to
  improve program and project delivery capabilities
  in a climate of financial and capacity
  constraints.
• Achieving and maintaining high levels of service
  quality is integral to customer experience.
  Maryland citizens and businesses rely on
  dependable and predictable travel times to make
  informed transportation decisions. To meet these
  expectations, State transportation agencies act
  as one by collaborating across modes to achieve
  efficiencies and meet customer needs. By
  evaluating key customer satisfaction measures,
  enhancing system reliability, and fostering close
  coordination, Marylands transportation agencies
  can better identify areas for improvement and
  leverage limited resources to provide optimal
  service levels.
• MDOT - Actively facilitate partnerships across
  modes and with partner agencies to support
  Statewide efforts (e.g., Statewide Development
  Plan, Maryland Transportation Plan, Trail
  Strategic Implementation Plan, and Statewide
  Freight Plan).
• MAA - Continue to focus on ease of access and
  movement to and from BWI Marshall Airport.
• MPA - Oversee the Quality Cargo Handling Action
  Team (QCHAT), a port-wide quality care
• MTA - Track bus locations in real-time through
  the Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) system to
  increase on-time service..
• MVA - Continue to upgrade and expand services and
  products available by Internet, kiosk, and phone.
  
• SHA MdTA - Participate in the Coordinated
  Highways Action Response Team (CHART), a joint
  effort with the Maryland State Police and other
  Federal, State, and local agencies to improve
  real-time operations for Marylands highway
  system. This comprehensive, advanced traffic
  management system functions continuously with
  regional Traffic Operations Centers spread across
  the State.

Transportation System Performance Highlights for
2009

• SAFETY SECURITY Marylands transportation
  agencies seek to provide safety and secure travel
  for all customers and goods moving along the
  States transportation network. Marylands Modal
  Administrations and MdTA have integrated safety
  measures into all design and operational
  activities at MDOT in order to maintain a strong
  safety and security consciousness. Safety of
  individuals and goods using the States
  transportation network are considered, from the
  construction of a well-designed bridge to the
  maintenance and upgrade of the States transit
  systems. Marylands Strategic Highway Safety
  Plan (SHSP) is a Statewide roadmap for reducing
  fatalities and injuries through shared resources
  and targeted strategies to address safety
  emphasis areas, such as impaired driving. In
  addition to SHSP metrics, Marylands
  transportation agencies employ a host of
  performance measures to evaluate the safety of
  travelers using Marylands transportation network
  and to monitor the effectiveness of specific
  safety-related programs.
• Security awareness requires preparation for the
  possibility of natural or man-made incidents that
  can impact the transportation network. As a
  result, Marylands transportation agencies use
  advanced security technology to implement
  licensing security requirements, to secure
  airports, to patrol transit stations and to
  monitor the flow of commercial traffic through
  vehicle weight and inspection stations along
  State highway and for cargo inspections at the
  Port of Baltimore facilities.
• Access to Marylands transportation
  infrastructure is critical to timely emergency
  response and evacuation in the event of an
  emergency. MDOT is committed to supporting the
  implementation of emergency plans and procedures
  throughout the States transportation network,
  including supplying resources, clearing roads and
  highways of incidents and debris, providing
  real-time information, and continuing the
  seamless and efficient use of existing
  transportation channels with minimal
  interruption.
• MDOT - Assist on issues related to bicycling and
  pedestrian activity including funding, public
  awareness, safety and education, and participate
  in the Maryland Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory
  Committee.
• MAA - The BWI Marshall Fire and Rescue Department
  responded 911 times for mutual aid in FY 2008 and
  will continue to provide mutual aid service to
  surrounding communities.
• MPA - Maintain the eModal Trucker Check System, a
  database of truck company and driver information
  for port security purposes.

4
Transportation System Performance Highlights for
2009

• MTA - Conduct Zone Enforced Unified Sweeps
  (Operation ZEUS), in partnership with State and
  local law enforcement agencies, which are highly
  visible, unannounced sweeps of MTA facilities.
• MdTA - Conduct yearly Structural Inventory
  Appraisal Assessments of bridges to determine
  structural deficiencies.
• MVA - Comply with new Federal identification
  requirements stipulated by the Real ID Act.
• SHA - Implement the Strategic Highway Safety Plan
  to reduce highway fatalities and serious injuries
  on all public roads and highways.
• SYSTEM PRESERVATION PERFORMANCE Marylands
  transportation is a valuable asset to the
  States economy. Therefore, preserving and
  maintaining the existing infrastructure is MDOTs
  first budgetary and planning priority. The State
  continues to optimize performance by prioritizing
  investments that provide the best return. Key to
  this approach is extending the useful life of
  existing facilities and equipment before
  undertaking costly capacity expansion projects.
  Given the rising costs of materials,
  construction, and fuel, implementing innovative
  solutions to achieving operational efficiencies
  is critical to meeting user demand and
  facilitating the seamless movement of people and
  goods around the State.
• Routine maintenance, such as roadway
  resurfacing, engineering safety improvements, and
  equipment replacements, is essential to
  preserving transportation infrastructure assets.
  Marylands transportation agencies continue to
  identify new maintenance solutions and
  value-added technologies to improve performance
  across existing modal infrastructure.
• For example, Maryland uses access management
  techniques to increase capacity, maximize
  performance, and reduce congestion on Marylands
  transportation interchanges, implementing
  exclusive turn lanes, and encouraging land use
  policies that limit access to highways are just a
  few access management strategies the Modal
  Administrations and MdTA have employed.
• MDOT - Utilize the Capital Program Management
  System (CPMS), a software database that allows
  agencies to identify and track capital project
  work schedules, cash flows, and expansion
  preservation categories.
• MAA - Focus advertising and awareness campaigns
  to passengers on the advantages and options BWI
  Marshall provides, such as parking, concessions,
  and transit options.

  MVA location.
• ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP Marylands
  transportation network operates within a dynamic
  natural environment and an ever-changing
  landscape of human activities. The proactive
  preservation and enhancement of environmental
  assets ensures that future generations can
  benefit from the high quality of air, water,
  soil, and ecosystem resources that Marylanders
  enjoy today. Marylands Modal Administrations
  and MdTA take pride in implementing
  transportation policies and decisions that
  contribute to the environmental stewardship of
  the States resources.
• In April 2007, Governor OMalley issued an
  Executive Order mandating studies and actions to
  curtail greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. MDOT
  recognizes that transportation contributes to
  carbon dioxide emissions and is engaged in the
  Maryland Climate Change Commission, which is
  developing a Climate Action Plan to reduce
  Marylands GHG and carbon footprint. MDOT is
  also involved in a number of comprehensive
  interagency planning efforts to manage growth
  through the BRAC Action Plan, the Task Force on
  the Future for Growth and Development, and the
  State Development Plan, as well as the continue
  to promote transit-oriented development.
• Marylands Modal Administrations and MdTA
  regularly engage in close coordination with
  stakeholders and other government entities when
  undertaking new projects and programs. These
  agencies have made strides in coordinating land
  use and transportation planning, minimizing the
  negative impacts of projects and mitigating those
  impacts that cannot be avoided, seeking Smart
  Growth strategies to protect Marylands open
  space and farmland while investing in existing
  communities.

  they live, work, and recreate. Whether by air,
  transit, trail, car, bicycle, or foot, Maryland
  transportation agencies seek to offer a variety
  of travel options. Offering travel choices means
  pursuing initiatives and investments aimed at
  developing a seamless transportation system that
  supports a connected network for people and
  goods. A balanced transportation system
  encourages users to consider the wealth of travel
  choices Marylands transportation agencies offer
  and also facilitates the efficient movement of
  goods across the State.
• Facilitating travel also helps the States
  vibrant economy to prosper and compete in a
  global marketplace. However, Marylands
  transportation infrastructureits roadways,

• Transportation user revenues are projected to
  increase moderately through the six-year planning
  period (FY 2009-2014).
• Transportation revenues have historically not
  been inflation-sensitive, and significant growth
  has resulted only from statutory rate increases.
  However, titling tax and sales and use tax
  revenues contain an inflation component.
• Motor fuel tax receipts are forecasted to
  increase between 1 and 2 a year. Titling tax
  receipts, while increasing over the long term,
  are projected to follow the business cycle in
  vehicle sales throughout the forecast period.
• Operating revenues have increased steadily and
  should continue to rise due to growth at the Port
  of Baltimore and BWI Airport.
• Registration Fees rise in FY 2005 due to the fee
  increase enacted by the legislature. Corporate
  Income Tax receipts show the impact of the Tax
  Amnesty program and the Delaware Holding Company
  legislation.
• The 2007 Special Legislative Session increased
  the Sales Use Tax rate from 5 to 6 and
  allocated 6.5 of net proceeds to MDOT. The 2008
  legislative session reduced MDOTs share to 5.3
  for five fiscal years 6.5 resumes in FY 2014.
