Overview

The proposed Red Line is a 14 mile, east-west transit line connecting the areas of Woodlawn, Edmondson Village, West Baltimore, downtown Baltimore, Inner Harbor East, Fells Point, Canton and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Campus.

When constructed, the Red Line will be a Light Rail Transit (LRT) line that runs mostly as a dedicated surface transitway in the median of existing roads with tunneling under Cooks Lane, downtown and Fells Point.

In support of Governor Martin O'Malley's "Smart, Green & Growing" initiative, the Red Line would provide enhanced mobility and connecting service to Baltimore's existing transit systems - MARC commuter service, metro, light rail and local and commuter bus routes.
