We're the municipal government serving Baltimore, the largest city in Maryland and the 29th-most populous city in the United States. Our team of over 10,000 employees works across dozens of departments to deliver essential services that keep this city running every single day. From the Department of Public Works ensuring clean drinking water for nearly two million people, to the Health Department operating the oldest continuously-running health department in the country since 1793, we tackle the complex challenges of urban life head-on.
What we do here touches every aspect of city living. Our Transportation Department builds systems that help everyone get where they need to go safely and easily. Our Housing and Community Development team works to make neighborhoods stronger through strategic planning and affordable housing initiatives. The 311 system connects residents directly to city services, while open data initiatives promote transparency. Under Mayor Brandon M. Scott's leadership, we're focused on modernizing how government works, investing in core services and infrastructure, and creating real opportunities for Baltimore's residents.
