MDOT in Motion: A Tool for Local and Regional Planning
Wednesday, May 21, 2026, 11:30 AM- 1:00 PM
A deep dive into the new vehicles on the block, micromobility from e-bikes and e-scooters, to everything available for purchase online. Learn how Maryland is approaching exponential growth in these new vehicles with Meg Young, Deputy Director of Active Transportation and Micromobility at MDOT. Hear from League of American Bicyclists Education Director Alison Dewey about how to educate yourself on legal vehicles, riding safely, and finding a class to learn more. Gain perspective from Ocean City, Maryland, Police Sergeant Nathan Kutz about what is happening on the ground, where an uptick in micromobility ridership has allowed new mobility for workers and tourists, but also caused conflicts, which are being approached through education first by law enforcement officers.
MDOT in Motion is a series of webinars, interactive tools, eblasts, and educational opportunities offered by the Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Office of Active Transportation and Micromobility. The series highlights multi-modal projects and programs that are designed to get Marylanders moving safely, and to connect them to opportunities and to each other. In Maryland, Complete Streets is the deliberate approach to planning and designing streets for all users. MDOT in Motion demonstrates opportunities to make options like walking, biking, and transit more accessible.
This webinar series is supported by MDOT's fellow state agency, the Maryland Department of Planning. MDOT and MDP work together to implement Maryland's Sustainable Growth Principles, including striving for efficient and affordable transportation that provides reliable access and engagement based in equity and prioritizing the needs of underserved populations. 1.5 AICP credits are available for this webinar, and accommodations are available upon request.

Wednesday, May 20, 2026, 1:30 PM- 3:00 PM
Heritage areas are places where historic, cultural, and natural resources combine to form cohesive, significant landscapes, offering meaningful experiences for tourists and improved quality of life for residents. Heritage areas can be designated by the National Park Service or through state programs and receive benefits, including financial investment, to further historic, cultural and natural resource protection and enhancement. This webinar will provide an overview of the heritage area concept and how it intersects with local and regional planning, with a spotlight on the Maryland Heritage Areas Program and local case studies in central Maryland and the Eastern Shore.
