The Green Line is a proposed extension of the existing Baltimore Metro service from Johns Hopkins Medical Center to Morgan State University. Once implemented, the Green Line will provide a better transit connection from Northeast Baltimore to destinations like Morgan State University, Johns Hopkins Medical Campus, Downtown Baltimore and the Greater Baltimore Region. Transit options being considered include Light Rail Transit, Bus Rapid Transit and Heavy Rail Transit (Metro). The study is looking at ways to improve connections to existing and planned transit services, support community revitalization and growth, and enhance environmental quality.
