UPDATE – QUARTERLY UPDATE ON TRAFFIC AND REVENUE
Ms. Cheryl Lewis-Orr gave a quarterly and year-to-date update to the MDTA Board regarding traffic and toll revenue trends compared to the previous year and the forecast.
Ms. Lewis-Orr explained that this quarterly review looks at traffic and toll revenue trends and compares actual system-wide experience with traffic and toll revenue forecasts. CDM Smith tracks and evaluates the performance of traffic at the lane level and traffic and revenue collected on a cash basis She further explained that for the period ending March 31, 2025, overall collected revenue was above forecast by $20.0 million, or $23.5 million when adjusted for timing differences. An increase in revenue collected by the Central Collection Unit (CCU) has improved forecast performance. Video toll revenue was $4.2 million higher than forecasted and civil penalty fee revenue was $21.6 million higher than forecasted. Year-to-date (YTD) toll transactions and revenue decreased relative to the same period last year by 3.2 million transactions and $19.3 million dollars due to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.
