MARYLAND TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY -- Line 10
Primary Construction Program
PROJECT: I-95 Fort McHenry Tunnel - Convert to Cashless Tolling
DESCRIPTION: Remove the existing toll booths and plaza elements, construct gantry structures, and reconstruct the plaza roadway to convert to all-electronic (cashless) tolling; construct underground infrastructure, utilities, stormwater management, signing and marking, and commercial inspection area.
PURPOSE & NEED SUMMARY STATEMENT: All-electronic (cashless) tolling provides toll collection at highway speeds through the electronic methods of E-ZPass and video tolling. The advantages of converting to cashless tolling include reduced travel time; increased safety/reduced crashes; improved customer convenience; reduced emissions; and reduction in toll collection and maintenance costs. Cashless tolling has been used successfully at the MDTA's MD 200 Intercounty Connector (ICC) and the I-95 Express Toll Lanes (ETL).
