New 411T Express Bus Puts Tradepoint Atlantic Jobs 30 Minutes From White Marsh

Published: September 11, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team

BALTIMORE, MD — For years the hardest part of a job at Tradepoint Atlantic wasn't the job. It was getting there. A new MTA commuter route, the 411T, started running August 31 and links park-and-ride lots in White Marsh, Golden Ring and Essex straight to the warehouses and terminals on the Sparrows Point peninsula, cutting a bus commute that used to run about 90 minutes down to roughly half an hour.

If you live in eastern Baltimore County and wrote off Tradepoint because you don't have a car, it's time to take another look.

Why the 411T Matters for Tradepoint Atlantic Jobs

Tradepoint Atlantic, the redevelopment of the old Bethlehem Steel mill at Sparrows Point, has quietly become one of the biggest job centers in the region. About 15,000 people work there today, according to reporting by The Baltimore Banner and WMAR-2, and Tradepoint's leadership expects thousands more as the new container terminal comes online. Treat that growth as a projection, not a hiring announcement.

The trouble has always been the map. Sparrows Point sits at the far end of the Peninsula Expressway, and without a car the trip from White Marsh or Essex meant riding into the city and back out again. Baltimore County Executive Kathy Klausmeier put it plainly to WMAR-2: "For a long time it's been a real problem to get here for folks that live an hour and a half away."

The route was funded with $2 million in the state budget, secured by State Sen. Carl Jackson of District 8.

🗺️ Where the 411T Picks Up and Drops Off

The bus loads at three spots on the east side: the White Marsh Park & Ride, Philadelphia Road at Fontana Lane in Golden Ring, and the Essex Park & Ride on Eastern Boulevard. From there it heads down to the peninsula and makes a loop past the site's largest employers: two Amazon buildings, Under Armour, Floor & Decor, FedEx and the Royal Farms on site.

The first bus leaves White Marsh at 5 a.m. and service runs past midnight, which matters for anyone on second or overnight shift. Published end times differ slightly between sources, so check the official 411T schedule against your shift before you accept an offer. MTA's customer line is 410-539-5000.

💼 Who's Hiring at Sparrows Point

The tenant list reads like a supply-chain directory. Beyond the employers on the bus loop, Tradepoint's careers page links out to hiring pages for Home Depot, McCormick, BMW Group, Wallenius Wilhelmsen (Volkswagen), Gotham Greens, Pompeian, Intralox, Niagara and more than a dozen others.

Expect mostly warehouse and logistics work: pickers, packers, forklift and reach-truck drivers, shipping and receiving, maintenance technicians and team leads. The industrial side adds room for electricians, mechanics and equipment operators. Pay varies widely by employer and shift, so compare postings directly rather than trusting a single number.
