Case Study: City of Baltimore achieves $900K annual savings and streamlined right-of-way coordination with Accela Right of Way Management

Baltimore, Maryland, Streamlines Right of Way Projects with Map-Based Coordination

The City of Baltimore, managing thousands of annual infrastructure projects, events and street incidents, struggled with slow, meeting-heavy coordination, static data and costly oversights like unnecessary street cuts. City engineers needed a way to visualize activity in the right-of-way and reduce conflicts across multiple departments and utilities.

Baltimore deployed Accela Right of Way Management, a map-based, cloud solution used by city agencies and utility partners to upload 1,500+ projects, proactively coordinate schedules, publish detour maps and manage incidents. The platform improved stakeholder collaboration, reduced street cuts and pavement repairs, eliminated event-day traffic complaints, and produced projected annual savings of about $900,000.
