Baltimore – The region's economic hub bringing in 200,000 commuters a day

Baltimore is Maryland's largest city and economic hub, is known for its beautiful harbor; distinct neighborhoods; unique museums, and the world-renowned Johns Hopkins University to the east and the University of Maryland Medical Center to the west. The city relies on a low-wage service economy, which accounts for 90% of jobs in the city. The Census Bureau reported in 2013 that 207,000 workers commute into Baltimore city each day, bringing with them gridlock and a high volume of traffic crashes. Baltimore had a population of 622,104 in 2013; in 2010, that of Baltimore Metropolitan Area was 2.7 million, the 20th largest in the U.S. To help residents and visitors alike, the State of Maryland Department of Transportation provides a high-quality site with road conditions, weather conditions, maps, and traffic cameras.
