Investing in transportation infrastructure pays off, BIG time!

Money spent on highways and bridges multiplies through the economy. Every dollar spent on highway and bridge improvements results in $3.4 dollars in economic output.

Most bridges are designed to last 50 years. 43% of Maryland’s bridges were built in 1969 or earlier. Quick math: that's 59 years. While we had a productive Legislative Session this year, including $500 million to support our transportation network, we need to make sure this funding is utilized in a sustainable, optimal way.

Advocacy isn’t just about identifying the problems—it’s about driving real change. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

TTF Coalition Members attended MTBMA's Transportation Assembly Leadership Dinner, which brought together key voices in Maryland’s transportation sector including Senate President Bill Ferguson and Deputy Chief of Staff with the Governor's Office, Shaina A. Hernandez, who shared insights on the future of infrastructure, funding, and policy in our state.

Through leadership councils, policy advocacy, and industry initiatives, we are tackling our industry issues as a united front, ensuring Maryland’s transportation network remains strong and sustainable.

$420M in new revenues
$695M in total new investment
45,000 jobs supported

This investment is not just about roads, bridges, and aging transit lines — It’s about lives, livelihoods, and our quality of life.
