Overview

An interactive map embedded in a webpage, produced by MDOT MTA (Maryland Department of Transportation) for the Baltimore Red Line transit planning project. The map displays the geographic distribution of community engagement activities and outreach meetings conducted along the proposed Red Line corridor. The embed is powered by Microsoft Power BI and is sourced from TomTom and Microsoft Corporation mapping data (© 2026).

Filter Controls

The map includes three dropdown filter controls at the top, all currently set to “All”:

Year — filter by year of activity
Season — filter by season of activity
Outreach Activity Type — filter by type of engagement

A “Clear slicers” button in dark red/maroon is available to reset all filters.

Map Legend — Activity Types by Color

Six categories of outreach activities are represented by colored dots plotted on the map:

Dark Navy/Charcoal — Community Association Meetings
Pink/Magenta — Event
Red — Open House
Dark Purple — Other
Light Blue/Teal — Pop-up
Yellow/Gold — Visit/Drop In

Geographic Coverage

The map is centered on Baltimore City and the surrounding region, oriented with north at the top. Visible neighborhoods, communities, and landmarks include:

Western areas: Woodlawn, Milford Mill, Lochearn, Randallstown, Catonsville, Ellicott City, Franklintown, Harnedown, Windsor Hills, Kingswood Common
Central/corridor areas: Edmondson Village area, Fulton, Druid, Booth, Television Hill, Park Heights, Langston Hughes

Distribution of Activities

The highest concentration of engagement activity dots is clustered along a roughly east-west band across the center of the map, broadly corresponding to the proposed Red Line corridor running from the western suburbs through downtown Baltimore to the eastern neighborhoods. The densest clusters appear in:

The Woodlawn/western Baltimore County area (moderate density, predominantly yellow/gold Visit/Drop In dots)
The central Baltimore City area near Edmondson Village and downtown (very high density, mixed activity types including Community Association Meetings, Pop-ups, and Events)
The Inner Harbor/Stadium/East Baltimore area (very high density, widest variety of activity types)

Sparser activity dots appear in the northern and southern peripheries of the map..

Branding

The Red Line logo appears in the lower left of the map embed — a white oval with “RED LINE” text and a small red line graphic. The MDOT logo (Maryland Department of Transportation) appears in the upper left of the embed panel.

Central Maryland Regional Transit Plan (RTP)

The Central Maryland Regional Transit Plan (RTP) is a 25-year plan for improving public transportation in Central Maryland (Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Harford County, and Howard County).

Community Advisory Team (CAT)

The Community Advisory Team (CAT) is a group of individuals who bring voices and perspectives from the full range of affinity groups and neighborhoods living, working, and investing along the Red Line transit corridor. The CAT is serving as a vital link between the Maryland Transit Administration’s Red Line team's engagement efforts and the diverse communities of the greater Baltimore region.

Community Compact

A collaborative agreement between project stakeholders to ensure the success of the Red Line project by involving community, business, and advocacy group leaders in maximizing community benefits and addressing diverse interests and perspectives.

East-West Regional Transit Corridor Feasibility Study

The East-West Regional Transit Corridor Feasibility Study looked at a corridor serving east to west in Baltimore City and County. It helped identify the potential for high-capacity transit service serving heavily traveled east-west corridors in Baltimore. In particular, the study reinforced the need for enhanced transit in the area now being studied for the Red Line alternatives.

Federal Transit Administration (FTA)

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is the part of the U.S. Department of Transportation that provides financial and technical assistance to local public transit systems. The agency supports all types of transit, including buses, subways, light rail, commuter rail, trolleys and ferries. FTA also oversees safety measures and helps develop next-generation technology research.

Light Rail Transit (LRT)

Light rail transit (LRT) is a public transportation system that often uses electric-powered trains to carry passengers in urban areas and is capable of operating in mixed traffic. LRT systems are a modern version of streetcars, but they can carry more passengers, travel faster, and cover longer distances.

Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA)

An alternative (mode and alignment combination) evaluated through the local planning process, adopted as the desired option by the appropriate state and/or local agencies through a public process, and identified as the preferred alternative in the NEPA process.

Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT)

Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) is the overarching agency for state transportation in Maryland. It is led by the Maryland State Secretary for Transportation and includes the Maryland Aviation Administration, the State Highway Administration, the Maryland Port Administration, the Motor Vehicle Administration, and the Maryland Transit Administration.

Record of Decision (ROD)

A Record of Decision (ROD) is a formal document that summarizes the findings of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). A ROD is the basis for a federal agency's decision on a project.

Red Line

The Red Line is the name given to this project. It will be a high-frequency, high-capacity Light Rail line for the Baltimore Region, and it will be an investment in residents’ access to jobs, education, services, and opportunities.

Red Line Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Facility

The Red Line operations and maintenance (O&M) facility will be a central location where trains can be regularly maintained and kept in good condition to run transit service. The facility may also include a storage yard for the trains to "live" in when they are not being used.

Regional Rail Plan

The Regional Rail Plan from 2002 outlines proposed future rail lines for the Baltimore Region. This plan is where the Red Line first appeared on a map and became the basis for the project under development today.

Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)

A Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) is a document that updates or enhances an existing Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). A SEIS is prepared when new information, circumstances, or changes to a project would result in significant environmental impacts that were not considered in the original EIS.

Transit Signal Priority (TSP)

Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is a technology that adjusts traffic signal timing to make it easier for transit vehicles to pass through intersections faster by either extending green lights longer or shortening a red light when a transit vehicle is present.

Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM)

A tunnel boring machine (TBM) is a large mechanical "mole" that is able to dig tunnels deep underground with little to no disruption on the surface except for where the machine enters the ground.

West Baltimore MARC Transit Oriented Development Study (MARC TOD)

The West Baltimore MARC Transit Oriented Development Study (MARC TOD) looks at the potential for future development around the West Baltimore MARC Station. The station will be rebuilt as part of Amtrak's Frederick Douglass Tunnel Project to be fully accessible with elevators and indoor waiting areas. This station will be a key connection hub for local MTA buses, the Red Line, and MARC train service. The area around the station is ideal for development of new housing, retail, and other community-oriented uses that can help maximize the investment in transit.
