Baltimore Region Discount Plan Customers

DriveEzMD Logo and linkIf you are a Baltimore Region Discount Plan customer, you can still use your plan and get deep discounts at the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and Fort McHenry Tunnel. This plan also includes the JFK Highway and Hatem Bridge. But if your new commute doesn’t regularly include these facilities, and you want to cancel your Baltimore Region Discount Plan, the MDTA will credit any Unused Commuter Trip (UUCT) charges for your current cycle.
