It's time for toll violators in Maryland to pay up or get off the road, the Maryland Transportation Authority said Thursday.
The agency that operates tolling on highways, bridges and tunnels across the state will begin sending notices next week to some 131,000 vehicle owners, informing them they will have their vehicle registration blocked or yanked entirely if they don't pay what they owe in tolls and associated citations.
The agency is trying to recoup an estimated $7.1 million in accumulated unpaid tolls.
Most of the indebted drivers lack an E-ZPass device but went through E-ZPass lanes in the state anyway. Some arrived at tolls without any money, then failed to follow directions for how to pay. All received an initial notice for payment under the state's video tolling system, and all subsequently received a $50 civil citation for noncompliance.

I hate to say this but I will , about 85% of the violations are government workers.
ReplyDeleteI also understand that the government has been paying for this perk for a few years.
I will be paying what I owe Monday.
Do it! These deadbeats flaunt the law and give the finger to us paying our tolls.
