MDTA POLICE TO CELEBRATE

36 YEARS OF TOYS FOR TOTS COLLECTIONS

Convenient Drop-off on Your Commute December 3-5

Join the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police, MDTA staff and the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves for the 2025 Toys for Tots campaign. This is the 36th consecutive year the MDTA Police have supported the annual effort.

In Baltimore, MDTA officers will collect new, unwrapped toys Wednesday, December 3, through Friday, December 5, from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Fort McHenry* tunnel (I-95) and the Dundalk Marine Terminal. Additionally, officers will collect toys at sites across Maryland including the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge (US 50/301), the Gov. Harry W. Nice Memorial/Senator Thomas “Mac” Middleton Bridge (US 301), the Thomas J. Hatem Memorial Bridge (US 40) and the Intercounty Connector (MD 200).** Toys may also be donated at any MDTA Police Detachment, including the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport Detachment, located on the airport’s lower level.

Toll facility customers who wish to donate toys should use the right-most lane and follow directions from Santa, uniformed MDTA police officers and MDTA staff. Sites at the Bay, Hatem and Nice/Middleton bridges will be near the former toll plaza locations. The MDTA Police remind drivers to keep safety in mind as they approach toy drop-off sites.

Since 1990, MDTA employees have collected more than 174,000 toys and $150,000 from generous customers of Maryland’s toll facilities and the Port of Baltimore.

*Toy collections at the Fort McHenry Tunnel (I-95) will take place at the DriveEzMD Customer Service Center located near Exit 56 (Keith Avenue) at 3990 Leland Avenue.

**Toy collections at the Intercounty Connector (MD 200) will continue to take place at the Layhill Road (MD 182) interchange.
