Maryland toll increases put off for 2027, state says $50 million in costs avoided
Gov. Wes Moore directed the Maryland Transportation Authority to hold off on toll increases next year. The governor said the pause will save Marylanders $50 million, while the authority says it will continue maintaining its roads, bridges and tunnels.
Maryland drivers will not face toll increases in 2027 after Gov. Wes Moore ordered a pause, the Maryland Transportation Authority said Oct. 14.
Moore said the decision would save Marylanders $50 million. The authority confirmed it would delay toll increases next year and said it would continue working to keep its toll roads, bridges and tunnels in good repair.
The announcement delays increases for 2027; it does not specify whether toll rates could rise after that year.
