Maryland announced on August 6, 2020 that it had permanently converted to cashless tolling. This applies to all toll roads, bridges and tunnels in the state, including the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway, which is I-95 north of Baltimore to the Delaware state line. If you do not have an E-ZPass or compatible toll pass, your payment ptions include paying by video toll, or registering your license plate for a discounted Pay-by-Plate toll.
Maryland toll roads no longer accept cash. You have the option of receiving an bill for your toll or registering your license plate to get a Pay-By-Plate discount. This applies to the following roads in Maryland:
Video Tolling is Maryland's variation on Pay-By-Plate, also often called Toll-By-Plate. Overhead gantries use equipment to photograph each vehicle that passes. Sensors overhead and in the roadway, itself, detect the number of axles on a vehicle. Using the photographs of your vehicle's license plate, along with the sensor data, the correct toll charge can be levied.
When you use video tolling, instead of registered Pay-by-Plate or E-ZPass, you are typically paying 1.5 times the basic toll rate. The registered owner of the vehicle will receive a Notice of Toll Due from the Maryland Transportation Authority, typically within three to six weeks, with the toll charges due.
You may pay video tolls online or mail the payment to the address listed on the notice.
Maryland is on the E-ZPass electronic toll collection network. Any transponder that displays the E-ZPass or IPass logo will be accepted in Maryland.
If you have an E-ZPass issued in a state other than Maryland, or an IPass from Illinois, you may use E-ZPass lanes in Maryland. However, to qualify for any E-ZPass discounts, you must use the Maryland E-ZPass. Non-Maryland E-ZPass account holders will pay the cashless tolling rate. Funds will be deducted from your E-ZPass account.
Make certain you have sufficient funds on your E-ZPass account to pay for the toll charges you will incur; otherwise, it will count as a toll violation.
This graphic provides general information about how to count the number of axles on your vehicle. See the information below for detailed information for Maryland.
The classification system is simple in Maryland. Tolls are calculated based on the number of axles your vehicle has. Any trailers that are towed behind your vehicle will also have the axles counted, so when you count the axles on your vehicle, be certain to add the number of axles on the vehicle and the trailer to get your total.
Motorcycles count as a car, including motorcycles with a sidecar. Motorcycles with a trailer would count two axles for the motorcycle, plus the number of axles on the trailer, to get a total.
In Maryland, there is no class one.
