About Corridor Transit
The Corridor Transportation Corporation (CTC) was established in 1987 for the purpose of operating a fixed route community-based bus service in the mid Baltimore/Washington suburban area. The CTC was formed through the joint efforts of the Greater Laurel business community along with local and state elected officials and agency representatives. The corporation is established as a charitable corporation with a volunteer Board of Directors. The CTC administrative component is a part of the Baltimore/Washington Corridor Chamber of Commerce.
The CTC manages transit service contracts for Howard County
and the State of Maryland. CTC manages Howard Transit (the County's
fixed-route system), and a paratransit service which operates within
the county. CTC manages the Connect-A-Ride system, which operates in a
four county area. The total ridership for all these services is well
over 1.2 Million boardings annually and has increased every year
between FY2002 and FY2006.
CTC has promoted the benefits derived from regionally and privately
managed transit operations. Through the independent bidding process,
CTC has introduced efficiencies, which were unachievable under previous
operating structures.
Approximately 70% of the CTC ridership is going to/from work. Such a system is vital to a transportation nexus that now must serve a suburb-to-suburb commuter and provide a critical link to jobs for those who are in school-to-work and welfare-to-work programs.
The CTC is a model system that has consistently shown that the private sector, working in tandem with the public sector, can produce excellent results, do the work less expensively and allow government to do those things which it can best do, privatizing the rest.
