A Maryland county broke ground July 22 on a $17 million transportation operations facility that will consolidate transit maintenance, administration and fleet expansion on a single permanent site.
Anne Arundel County, Maryland, selected a 7.694-acre parcel along Dorsey Road in Glen Burnie for the new Transportation Operations Facility. Construction is expected to wrap in summer 2027.
The facility will support transit operations, maintenance and administrative functions for the county’s existing fleet while providing capacity for future fleet growth. Infrastructure to support electric transit vehicles is included in the project scope.
County Executive Steuart Pittman, Department of Public Works Director Karen Henry, Office of Transportation Director Sam Sneed and Councilman Pete Smith attended the July 22 groundbreaking alongside project partners and community members. The project is a joint effort between the Anne Arundel County Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Office of Transportation and is tied to the county’s Move Anne Arundel! Transportation Master Plan.
“Expanding transit opportunities for our residents has been a priority of our work since day one,” Pittman said. “We’ve expanded routes, modernized the fleet, cancelled fares, and quadrupled ridership. Future growth of the system requires that we have an operations facility where the fleet can grow and be maintained. Congratulations to all who made this happen.”
The county did not disclose the funding breakdown or identify a general contractor in the groundbreaking announcement.
“This facility will strengthen the foundation of our transit system and reflects our commitment to providing dependable public services through thoughtful, long-term infrastructure investments,” DPW Director Henry said. “Together with the Office of Transportation, we are building the capacity to better serve our residents today and into the future.”
The county says the project is expected to improve mobility, expand transit service opportunities, enhance operational resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through deployment of cleaner transit technologies once the electric vehicle infrastructure is operational.
