Projections of increased demand for travel between Baltimore, Washington, and Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), with increasing highway congestion slowing auto travel times, creates a market opportunity for Maglev to serve business travelers, tourists, and some commuters.

The study found that of Maglev-competitive trips (greater than seven miles in length, and within the corridor), Maglev anticipates capturing:

• Sixteen percent of the business market (job-related trips, such as going to the airport for a business trip)
  
• Eight percent of the commuter market (between work and home)
  
• Four percent from other markets (such as leisure or tourist trips to Baltimore and Washington)
