Overview
- The Maryland Transit Administration began operating the 411T on Monday, August 31, 2026, running 12 round trips daily between White Marsh, Golden Ring, Essex and Tradepoint Atlantic.
- MTA says the direct route cuts typical travel from more than 90 minutes with transfers to about 25–30 minutes and runs every day from early morning until after midnight to serve shift schedules.
- The pilot was funded with $2 million from the state, fares are Zone 1 at $4 one-way or $136 monthly with discounts for seniors and riders with disabilities, and all buses are wheelchair accessible.
- Riders are encouraged to use CharmPass for ticketing and the MTA Transit app for real-time tracking, and MTA will collect ridership data to decide whether to expand similar express links from other county areas.
- Tradepoint Atlantic employs roughly 15,000 people with thousands more jobs planned, and officials say the route removes a transit barrier that had kept many eastern Baltimore County residents from applying for well‑paying local positions.
