Pet transport demand in Baltimore
Baltimore operates as an extension of the Washington DC metro — at 40 miles via I-95, the two cities share driver coverage and the Baltimore-DC corridor is one of the most reliably active short-haul routes on the East Coast. Johns Hopkins medical system and University of Maryland generate consistent academic and healthcare relocation. Fort Meade (home to the NSA and US Cyber Command) and a dense concentration of defense contractors — Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and SAIC all have major Baltimore-area operations — add government-adjacent relocation demand that doesn't follow civilian economic cycles.
