Hey Retrievers,
We want to give our campus community and valued riders a heads up about a service impact to the UMBC Transit Downtown Route on Monday, February 16, 2026.
The City of Baltimore will host A Walk in Legacy: Baltimore City's 2nd Annual Black History Month Parade, beginning at 12:00 p.m. The parade route will begin at MLK Jr. Blvd & Eutaw Street and conclude at Baltimore Street.
Because of road closures along the parade route, UMBC Transit will be unable to service the following Downtown stops during the event:
Stop 6: Baltimore St. & MLK Jr. Blvd.
Stop 7: S. Poppleton St. & Hollins St.
Stop 8: Pratt St. & MLK Blvd.
Please plan ahead and allow extra travel time if you are riding Downtown that day. Riders are encouraged to utilize stop #9. Pratt St & & Greene St. (UMB), 10. Pratt St & Howard St @ The Baltimore Convention Center and 11. Pratt St & Light St @ The Baltimore Inner Harbor during this parade. also We recommend checking the Transit App for real-time updates before your trip.
We appreciate your patience and flexibility as the city comes together for this meaningful celebration. If you have questions about service adjustments, please contact UMBC Transit directly.
Thank you for riding with us!
