The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is an independent agency responsible for managing, operating and improving the State's toll facilities.  We invite you to explore our web site to learn more about us and what we're doing for Maryland's citizens and visitors.

Meet the Chairman, the Members and the Executive Secretary of the Maryland Transportation Authority.

On Feb. 1, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) begins implementation of its new E-ZPass Maryland plans for motorists who travel the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge (US 40).  The Hatem Bridge E-ZPass plans offer customers two choices to continue receiving annual unlimited trips for $10 as offered today with the AVI Decal.

“The MDTA is committed to customer service and making this transition as seamless as possible for Hatem Bridge users,” said MDTA Executive Secretary Harold M. Bartlett.  “We are offering many options for customers to sign up for Hatem Bridge plans, including extending JFK Highway E-ZPass Stop-in Center Hours through September, introducing on-line enrollment for both Choice A and Choice B on Feb. 13 at www.ezpassmd.com and extending AVI decals that expire in January through Feb. 29 so these customers have adequate time to learn about and sign up for E-ZPass.”

Funded completely from toll revenue, work will address existing wear and extend the bridge’s useful life.

New “Mobile App” Displays Truck Parking For Truckers To Ride Out The Storm

As part of the O’Malley Administration’s ongoing effort to maintain a safe and efficient transportation network, Transportation Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley today joined Maryland Motor Truck Association (MMTA) and I-95 Corridor Coalition to announce a new pilot program for emergency truck parking in select park and ride lots during heavy snow events as a safe haven for truckers to ride out the storm.  MDOT, MMTA and the Coalition today released a list of park and ride lots that can accommodate large trucks to park during snow storms of six inches or more instead of parking along highway ramps and shoulders.  They also announced a new “mobile app” that gives truckers an easy way to navigate to these six new lots and to existing truck parking, bringing the total truck parking options during a storm to 45 across the State.

New Tolling Plan Approved for Maryland Toll Facilities

The MDTA Board today approved a revised tolling plan after considering substantial public comments received earlier this summer.  The plan is projected to generate approximately $90 million in its first full year to pay significant debt for rehabilitating MDTA’s aging bridges, tunnels and highways and for constructing additional highway capacity in the Baltimore and Washington regions.
