Dear Subscriber,
The Maryland Port Administration (MPA) is working to reduce air emissions, strengthen energy resiliency, and lessen impacts on nearby communities.
Maryland has set ambitious climate goals: a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2031 and net-zero emissions by 2045. To help meet these targets, MPA is partnering with a wide range of organizations to improve air quality, expand electrification, and build climate resilience across the Port of Baltimore.
MPA received $147 million through the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Ports Program. Combined with more than $36 million in State and partner contributions, this $182 million investment will drive major progress in climate planning and the electrification of port infrastructure and equipment. Funding also supports a workforce impact analysis and new career development opportunities to promote job equity as the Port transitions to cleaner technologies.
MPA remains committed to advancing sustainable, forward-looking initiatives that benefit all Marylanders—and your insights are essential to this work. We want your voice to help shape the future of our environmental efforts.

Thank you for helping make the Port of Baltimore a cleaner, healthier place to live and work.
