Due to unscheduled Amtrak trackwork between Halethorpe and West Baltimore, Penn Line Train 634 (4:40pm departure from Union Station) and Train 440 (5:24pm departure from Union Station) WILL NOT stop at Halethorpe today.  Passengers traveling to Halethorpe should use other trains - all other trains scheduled to stop at Halethorpe will stop.

In addition, northbound Penn Line trains at Halethorpe will load and unload from low platform.  Passengers who cannot walk up or down train steps should use the BWI Marshall Airport Rail station.  Southbound trains are not affected.

We regret any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as Amtrak works as quickly and safely as possible to repair their track.

What is Transit Alerts? Alerts provide a way for UMBC Transit to communicate with you - the rider in a way that is more reliable, more personal, and more secure than standard email. 

Alerts are Important When you receive an alert about a detour, inclement weather etc; it usually means that there is something you need to do or know. In some cases, failure to take action on a transit alert may prevent or hinder your transit experience/commute. 

Alerts are Personal You will not receive alerts that do not apply specifically to you. In contrast to email, you can be sure that an alert holds some relevance to you. 

Who to Contact if you have a question about a Transit alert, while reading an alert, click the From to contact the sender. You can also contact UMBC Transit office at 410.455.2454 or transit@umbc.edu.

 Emergency Alerts: UMBC has partnered with Campus Alert to create an emergency alert system using your text messaging or email.
