In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The Maryland State Freight Plan functions as a comprehensive statewide strategy designed to enhance the understanding and improvement of freight movement throughout Maryland. It plays a vital role in identifying current and future freight needs, establishing priorities, addressing challenges, and formulating potential solutions that ensure the safe and efficient transportation of goods. By engaging various stakeholders, including MDOT Modal Administrations, the State Freight Advisory Committee, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, partner agencies, and the general public, MDOT aims to create a robust and responsive plan.
Individuals and organizations can contribute to this planning process by completing a brief survey, which is designed to be accessible on both desktop and mobile devices and takes approximately 10 minutes to finish. The survey provides an opportunity for participants to offer feedback on the proposed Vision and Goals for the 2026 plan, rank the importance of specific objectives within each goal, and submit additional comments or suggestions. Furthermore, participants can opt-in to receive future updates regarding the development of the 2026 Maryland State Freight Plan. The deadline for survey submissions is Monday, June 15, 2026. Those with further inquiries or comments can direct them via email to mdstatefreightplan@mdot.maryland.gov. Washington County Government is encouraging all residents, businesses, and transportation partners to participate in this important effort to support Maryland’s statewide freight planning initiatives.
