Wednesday is the last day to pay outstanding video tolls without being hit with a $25 penalty. • During the pandemic the Maryland Transportation Authority paused processing toll transactions for several months. That created a massive backlog so they gave drivers a nine month grace period to catch up on paying off tolls without fines. • As of November 27, $137 million in civil penalties have been waived for 750,000 drivers and businesses. • For customers who still have outstanding tolls after midnight, they could face a $25 dollar penalty per toll. For example, the $6 toll for the Fort McHenry Tunnel will turn into $31. • Delinquent accounts will also again be sent to collections, and the MVA will resume vehicle suspensions for toll violators. • MDTA is working on implementing payment plans but they won’t be ready by tomorrow. However, drivers can cut costs by 33 percent by signing up for an E-ZPass or pay-by-plate account. • “Come in and see us. We’ll work with you. We’ll try to come up with a way to relieve the debt and to manage that with the customer,” said MDTA executive director Will Pines. • Pines said they transitioned to cashless toll collection to alleviate congestion and keep drivers at highway speeds. Toll collectors were transitioned to other jobs within the agency. • The easiest way to check if you have outstanding tolls is by going to the MDTA website — type in your license plate and zip code and it’ll let you know if there are any unpaid tolls or pending civil penalties. • https://www.wmar2news.com/news/local-...
