Americans with Disabilities and Senior Citizens
Welcome to the Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) web page for Americans with Disabilities and Senior Citizens. MDOT is a dynamic organization that includes the MDOT Maryland State Highway (SHA), the MDOT Maryland Aviation Administration (MAA), the MDOT Maryland Port Administration (MPA), the MDOT Maryland Transit Administration (MTA), the Maryland Transportation Authority (MdTA), and the MDOT Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). Each of these Modal Administrations listed above provide services to individuals with disabilities and senior citizens of Maryland. It is MDOT's goal to provide transportation programs and services that support public or private transportation opportunities for individuals with disabilities and senior citizens. Regardless, of the means of travel, as a pedestrian, a motorist, or public transportation, transportation provides a means of independence.
Included in the Department's web page are links to each Modal Administration's website and resources that we have found to be transportation related and useful to individuals with disabilities and senior citizens. MDOT has also provided a list of full service gas stations in the State of Maryland to assist your needs. If you are a senior resident and/or a visiting driver with a disability that prevents you from filling you own gas tank, then go to one of the gas stations listed on the web page. Please note that there are several counties within the State of Maryland that have not yet been added to the web site. MDOT is still in the process of visiting those counties and they will be added as soon as they become available as part of the "Its Good Business" Program.
Thank you for visiting our web page. It is MDOT's commitment to provide transportation information for our traveling needs to our individuals with disabilities and senior citizen community. If you have any questions, you may contact us by e-mail at
