Resilience 2050 Background
Resilience 2050 Background
The Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) has launched the planning process for Resilience 2050: Adapting to the Challenges of Tomorrow, the next long-range transportation plan (LRTP) for the Baltimore region.
The Baltimore region and our transportation system face a variety of both short- and long-term challenges. Responding to and overcoming issues such as a global pandemic, climate change, and cyber threats is vitally important. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how quickly challenges can arise that the region must respond to.
In light of these challenges, the BRTB selected the theme of resilience and adapting to the challenges of a changing tomorrow for this plan. The ability of our region to be resilient is necessary for the ongoing and effective performance of our transportation system, our environment, our economy, and our livelihoods.
The BRTB invites you to get involved in the process to develop this plan. There is a federal requirement that the LRTP must be updated every four years, bringing together the many jurisdictions and agencies involved in our transportation system to create a shared vision for surface transportation in the Baltimore region.

Resilience 2050: Adapting to the Challenges of Tomorrow will document our region's transportation vision for the coming decades. Over this time period, the Baltimore region will face a multitude of challenges and opportunities, including changing demographic and travel patterns, climate change, shifting budgets, and rapid technological change.
Understanding the impact of these issues will help the BRTB to shape the transportation system to be resilient in dealing with the challenges of tomorrow.
