This module addresses the urban transportation policy involving the Baltimore

experience. Baltimore's population increased rapidly from roughly 2.17 million to 2.5 million. I

learned that Baltimore is recorded as the fifth-worst air polluted city in the nation. However,

low-income Baltimore City residents faced issues of employment inaccessibility. This module

reveals policy options for transportation finance where the federal government gathers motor fuel

taxes and other fees. Likewise, the module outlines the ideas of how the State collects facilities

tolls, registration fees, driver license fees, and emission certification fees. The fuel taxes and a

trust fund was created by the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956 (Plant, 2007). Later, the federal

highway trust fund was tapped to support the transit system in the 1970s.

Markedly, this module outlines the managing transportation demand policy options

where economists reveal that operators need to pay full expenses of automobile use, including

pollution. Congestion pricing causes a route change, transit shifts, and ride-sharing increase.

However, low-income drivers tend to be affected financially by road pricing (Plant, 2007). I

learned that the transportation demand management goal is to enhance road efficiency by

reducing SOV trips using economic measures. The travel behavior technique can change using

significant financial incentives or disincentives.

This module reveals the policy options for growth management and land use where

transportation is useful for development, but it is insufficient. However, it outlines the policy

options on job access, where urban development became an urban policy focus in the early

1980s. Baltimore's transportation plan included expressways, primary and secondary roads and

streets, toll bridges, and tunnels. Likewise, the objectives involved environmental quality,

economic development, accessibility and safety, and a regional process (Plant, 2007). This

module's ideas included building more roads, transit, and congestion, and value pricing aspects.
