The Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Transit Administration’s Red Line light rail transit service will significantly enhance east-west connectivity across Baltimore. Many of the region’s highest-ridership bus routes currently travel between Woodlawn in Baltimore County to Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital in East Baltimore – the proposed 14-mile Red Line corridor – making this new high-frequency, high-capacity service a need for the region.
STV, as part of the Jacobs and WRA tri-venture, Transit Delivery Partners, will serve as the General Engineering Consultant. The firm is providing roadway, track, water resources, systems, traffic, landscaping, architecture, structural and utility design and oversight. Additionally, STV is offering planning support in collaboration with the program management consultant and will provide cost estimating services later in the project.
The majority of the Red Line will be surface running within the existing Baltimore City roadway network. The project scope also includes the design of several maintenance buildings for vehicle storage and upkeep, as well as park-and-ride facilities along the alignment.
