City Council approves $100K for regional electric transportation feasibility study

The Annapolis City Council Work Session on May 22, 2025, focused on a significant amendment to the transportation budget. The proposed amendment seeks to allocate an additional $100,000 to the transportation department. This funding is intended for a study on the feasibility and planning of a city, county, and regional electric transportation system.

The initiative is a collaborative effort with Anne Arundel County, which is also contributing funds to support this project. The goal is to explore the potential for an integrated electric transportation network that could enhance mobility options for residents and reduce reliance on traditional fuel sources.

This discussion highlights the city's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions and reflects a growing trend towards electric mobility in urban planning. The council's decision on this amendment will be crucial in determining the future of transportation infrastructure in Annapolis and its surrounding areas.
