Concerns with unpaid out-of-state tolls and penalties were raised in the April 2024 Joint Chairmen’s report. In January 2025, MDTA responded that it was optimistic about the possibility of entering into its first reciprocity agreement, which could include provisions to suspend the out-of-state motorists’ vehicle registration if the tolls were not paid. As of July 2026, MDTA was still working to finalize that agreement. In addition, MDTA indicated it was developing a request for proposal to hire a third-party collection agency. However, as of February 2026, MDTA had not entered into agreements with any other states and had not drafted the request for proposal. Recommendation 1 We recommend that MDTA take available actions to help enforce collection of unpaid tolls and penalties due from out-of-state motorists, including a. executing reciprocity agreements with other states as allowed by State law, b. contracting with a third-party collection agency, and c. requesting approval from DBM to refer unpaid tolls to CCU. Information Systems Security and Control We determined that Finding 2 related to “cybersecurity,” as defined by the State Finance and Procurement Article, Section 3.5-301(c) of the Annotated Code of Maryland, and therefore is subject to redaction from the publicly available audit report in accordance with the State Government Article 2-1224(i). Consequently, the specifics of the following finding, including the analysis, related recommendations, along with MDOT’s responses, have been redacted from this report copy.
Finding 2 Redacted cybersecurity-related finding.
