Thousands of vehicles are repeatedly blowing through Maryland E-ZPass lanes without an E-ZPass transponder, and the state is doing little to collect the millions of dollars in unpaid tolls.
One car-rental company owes the state nearly $209,000 in unpaid tolls and penalties despite having received nearly 7,000 letters over four years, according to state figures. Eight other rental companies owe between $80,000 and $200,000 each, with some violations dating back eight years.
Individual vehicle owners aren’t paying up, either. About 15,000 owe more than $500 each.

I remember when EZ pass was worth it, now they time you between tolls, charge a monthly fee and you no longer receive a discount on the bay bridge. I switched back to paying cash.
This is like found money for the state of Maryland they should do everything possible to collect it.
They should find it and give it back.
Toll's are illegal taxes used for God knows what when we already were taxed, then taxed again for construction and maintenance.
Good information to know. If it's free, why am I paying each time I go through?
