The Maryland Department of Transportation(MDOT) is a customer-driven leader that delivers safe, sustainable, intelligent and exceptional transportation solutions in order to connect our customers to life’s opportunities.

MDOT oversees all modes of transportation in Maryland: the Maryland Aviation Administration (MDOT MAA), Maryland Port Administration (MDOT MPA), Maryland Transit Administration (MDOT MTA), Motor Vehicle Administration (MDOT MVA), State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA), and Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA). This unique structure provides state leadership with the ability to develop a coordinated and balanced approach to transportation.

Gregory I. Slater serves as Secretary of MDOT and is Chairman of the MDTA. [2]

History

Formed in 1971, MDOT was created during the consolidation of several independent state agencies that each were responsible for a specific mode of transportation. MDOT now provides Marylanders with a transportation network that encompasses aviation, highway, marine, mass transit, motor vehicle, railroad and toll facilities.

Because transportation’s role in Maryland’s economic development always has been vital, the evolution of Maryland’s transportation systems directly reflects the state’s growth. State government’s concern with ensuring modes of transportation date back to the 17th century.
