The Maryland State Transportation Trails Strategic Plan (the Plan) established a vision for "a safe and accessible transportation trail network that connects Marylanders to opportunities across their communities, towns, and the state." This plan was released in the fall of 2025.

The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) developed the Plan to build on the success and foundation of the 2009 Trails Plan and the 2050 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (2050 BPMP). The planning process included inventorying the existing shared-use path network, existing maps of missing links, and railbanked corridors identified for transportation trails; identifying planned and programmed shared-use paths/trails; prioritizing missing links and crossings to safely connect the state across a low-traffic-stress/all-ages-and-abilities network; and identifying tools and partners to complete shared-use path/trail projects. MDOT partnered with the State Highway Administration, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and nearly 100 partners from other state and local agencies to develop the strategic plan and work collaboratively to increase access to a larger network of trails that benefit all Marylanders. The Plan development took one year to complete marked by a kick-off event in Easton, Talbot County in September 2024 and the release of the Plan during a public webinar in September 2025. It uses the standard WGS 1984 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) Projected Coordinate System for ease of use across platforms. However, we strongly recommend re-projecting it to NAD 1983 (2011) StatePlane Maryland FIPS 1900 (US Feet).</dc:description><dc:format>ArcGIS FeatureLayer</dc:format><dc:identifier>https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/9fb0dbcac53b4236aa6791e4a772c10e_0</dc:identifier><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:publisher>Maryland iMap</dc:publisher><dc:rights>Public</dc:rights><dc:title>Maryland Transportation Trails [Maryland]</dc:title><dc:type>Web services</dc:type><dc:coverage>Maryland</dc:coverage><dc:date>Last Modified: 2026-01-22</dc:date></oai_dc:dc>
