Water Transit Strategic Plan Public Meeting

In 2015, we created a Water Transit Strategic Plan to set a vision for marine activity in and around the Inner Harbor. The 2015 plan studied the free, city-run Harbor Connector ferry service and the Harbormaster Office. In Spring 2025, BCDOT began working to update the plan. The project team studied ridership on each of the Harbor Connector’s three routes, as well as changes in employment and residential locations in order to formulate recommendations for the ferry service. BCDOT also formed stakeholder and steering committees – composed of other city agencies and parties with an active role in maritime activity – to assist in creating recommendations for the Harbormaster Office and strategies to ensure the city keeps waterfront infrastructure such as docks, piles, cleats and bollards in a state of good repair.

BCDOT plans to hold a public meeting on Jan. 21 at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park (1417 Thames Street, Baltimore, MD, 21231) from 6-7:30 p.m. to present recommendations from the plan and gather feedback.
