Weather Announcement 

Update on the status of State offices and facilities:  Updated 11:50 a.m.

 

The Maryland Department of Budget and Management (DBM) frequently issues announcements regarding the closure of state office buildings and liberal leave policy.

These DBM announcements reference “Emergency Essential” personnel.  

MDOT MTA designates employees as either “Essential” or “Non-Essential” and the designation of “Essential” is equivalent to DBM’s “Emergency Essential.”


Any announcement issued by DBM that references the work status of Emergency Essential employees applies to MDOT MTA’s Essential employees.  For example, if Emergency Essential employees are told to report as scheduled, then MDOT MTA Essential Employees are expected to report for duty for their normally scheduled shift.
 

State offices and facilities in Baltimore City and all counties except for Garrett, Allegany, and Worcester Counties will be closed from noon until 9:00 p.m. on March 16, 2026. Employees who are eligible to telework should telework unless leave is granted. Emergency essential employees should report as scheduled. 

 

Thank You
