Chapter 725 & Chapter 30 Transportation Project Application


Each year, local governments are required to submit their transportation project priorities to the Maryland Department of Transportation to make their projects eligible for State funding.

Chapter 725, Acts of 2010 requires MDOT and the local jurisdictions seeking transportation project funding to demonstrate the relationship between prioritized projects and the long-term goals of the Maryland Transportation Plan, the Climate Action Plan Goals (as outlined in the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan) and local land use plans.

Chapter 30, Acts of 2017 requires MDOT and the local jurisdictions seeking funding for transportation capacity projects exceeding $5 million to submit projects for scoring and ranking across nine goals and 23 measures established in statute using a combination of project data, modeling analysis, and qualitative questionnaires.

This application consolidates the Chapter 725 questionnaire and Chapter 30 application. Applicants will respond to the Chapter 725 questionnaire and, if their project meets Chapter 30 eligibility requirements, submit information for Chapter 30 scoring. 

Each transportation project requires a separate application. Local governments may submit a maximum of 10 projects for Chapter 30 transportation project scoring each fiscal year.
