Notas do Editor
After the current round of expansion, Fort Meade will have a workforce of about 62,000. At that point, Fort Meade will rank number 5 among the region's top employment centers. Assuming we are able to develop and implement a success transportation management plan for Fort Meade, it would make sense later in 2009 to consider the feasibility of applying appropriate aspects of the Fort Meade transportation template to other major employment centers in the region.
The central Maryland region is served by a well-developed road and rail network. MD-32 and the BW Parkway/MD-295 are the primary east-west and north-south components serving Fort Meade, while MD-175 serves as an important distributor of traffic entering and leaving Fort Meade and its immediate environs. Access to Fort Meade and the National Security Agency is made possible by 8 access control points located on its perimeter.
