BALTIMORE TRANSPORTATION CENTER. CONCEPT STUDY

The report established the basic justification for preserving the Baltimore Rail Station as the nucleus in an intermodal transportation center. The proposed transportation center will provide an interface for high-speed intercity rail service, intercity and regional motorcoach service, regional commuter rail service, rapid transit service, local bus service, helicopter service, and the automobile. Two concepts of the intermodal facility are illustrated in this report for further consideration: concept one provides a total comprehensive solution to an expanded transportation center; concept two modifies the direction of concept one by providing a less expensive solution for an expanded complex.
