Today: Annual Transportation Priorities Meeting with Maryland Department of Transportation

This annual meeting provides an opportunity for County officials to discuss those priorities with MDOT and review the State's proposed six-year transportation budget, known as the Consolidated Transportation Program (CTP).

The meeting is open to the public, and residents are encouraged to attend to learn more about transportation projects and planning efforts that affect our community.
