On behalf of the Maryland Port Administration (MPA), JMT performed a series of spatial analyses, utilizing GIS to analyze the market of the Port of Baltimore.  We defined the drive-time zones and distance calculations between the Ports of Baltimore, New York/New Jersey, Norfolk, and Philadelphia, and each county in the MPA's 18-state market area.  JMT also included specific demographic information in order to develop a comprehensive market analysis. The spatial database included information such as population, metropolitan statistical area, distance to each port, driving time for each port, median household income and per capita household income.

MPA received a comprehensive view of its current market area versus its much larger prospective market area, identifying great opportunities for increased business for the Port of Baltimore.

Services provided by JMT included:

• Acquisition of reference data
• Creation of a comprehensive spatial database
• Market analysis for planning and marketing
