About Transportation

Transportation provides guidance on behalf of Anne Arundel County in planning and engineering studies conducted by the State Highway Administration for improvement or new construction of the state-maintained roadway network. In a similar fashion, it provides planning assistance to Anne Arundel County's Department of Public Works for roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities that are owned and maintained by the County. It coordinates with the Office of Planning and Zoning Development Division regarding road right-of-way, transit accessibility design, pedestrian and bicycle facilities and recommendations involving highway modifications resulting from the transportation adequate public facilities requirements.
