Maryland Locally Operated Transit Systems

The primary purpose of the Office of Local Transit Support (OLTS) is to provide a variety of technical assistance services to the Local Operating Transit Systems (LOTS) operating in the State of Maryland.  These include:

• Federal and State Regulatory Compliance
• Operations
• Management

A county’s LOTS services varies in relation to the jurisdiction’s size and population density.  Some jurisdiction’s have extensive fixed-route service, while others offer demand-response service that provides door-to-door transportation.

MTA manages a number of funding programs available to transportation operators throughout the State.  These programs support both public transportation and specialized transportation services.
