SHA Strategic Plan - Northbound 2.0

Northbound 2.0 Strategic Plan cover page

Starting in early 2024, the Maryland State Highway Administration kicked off an employee-driven and grassroots focused strategic planning effort to reimagine how we can most effectively meet the needs of our internal and external customers. Northbound 2.0 represents the best of SHA and our team’s commitment to our employees, communities, and customers that depend on us to deliver safe, reliable, and accessible transportation facilities. This plan was developed to reflect the dynamic opportunities, goals, and objectives we will pursue everyday to position our team to navigate the modern-day challenges we will face in all areas of the organization.
