ALL ELECTRONIC TOLLING (AET) STATEWIDE
All eight Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) facilities are all electronic (cashless). With All Electronic Tolling (AET), drivers do not stop or slow down to pay tolls. Instead, they are collected through E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate, and Video Tolling. The system not only provides convenience for motorists, but it also means less engine idling for better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, decreased congestion and increased safety. The MDTA is self-sufficient and receives no gas tax, motor vehicle fees, or other revenue in the Transportation Trust Fund. MDTA facilities are fully financed, operated, maintained, improved, and protected with toll revenues paid by customers using those facilities.
