The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) has awarded the contract for General Engineering Consultant (GEC) for MTA’s 14-mile-long Red Line light rail project to STV. The Red Line is a new light rail transit (LRT) corridor that will increase east–west connectivity in Baltimore. STV will work in consortium with Jacobs and WRA as Transit Delivery Partners as part of the program management consultancy (PMC) services.
The scope of work includes providing roadway, track, water resources, systems, traffic, landscaping, architecture, structural and utility design and oversight; designing maintenance buildings for vehicle storage and upkeep; constructing park-and-ride facilities along the alignment; and providing cost-estimating services. The Red Line will connect Woodlawn in Baltimore County to Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital in East Baltimore.
The line is expected to begin operations in 2026.
