The Maryland court has ruled that the contractor can quit the Purple line LRT PPP project after the dispute with the Maryland Department of Transportation over cost overruns and delays. After the ruling, the contractor, Purple Line Transit Partners (PLTP), can demobilize it's assets in the process to abandon the project.

MDOT is left with two options after the decision, either complete the remaining construction works by itself or hire a new contractor to replace Purple Line Transit Partners (PLTP). The cost of the project will be increased due to this decision and delays.
