ALL ELECTRONIC TOLLING (AET) STATEWIDE

All eight Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) facilities are all electronic (cashless). With All Electronic Tolling (AET), drivers do not stop or slow down to pay tolls. Instead, they are collected through E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate, and Video Tolling. The system not only provides convenience for motorists, but it also means less engine idling for better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, decreased congestion and increased safety. The MDTA is self-sufficient and receives no gas tax, motor vehicle fees, or other revenue in the Transportation Trust Fund. MDTA facilities are fully financed, operated, maintained, improved, and protected with toll revenues paid by customers using those facilities.

BEST TIMES TO CROSS THE BAY BRIDGE

More than 350,000 vehicles will cross the Bay Bridge between Friday, August 30, and Labor Day Monday, September 2. Expect travel delays in both directions – often simultaneously – at the bridge and along the US 50 corridor throughout the entire holiday travel period when traveling peak hours. Motorists should stay on US 50 on both sides of the bridge to keep local roadways open for first responders and residents. 

The best times to travel across the Bay Bridge this holiday period include the following off-peak times:

  • Thursday, August 29 – before 12 p.m. and after 8 p.m.
  • Friday, August 30 – before 10 a.m. and after 9 p.m.
  • Saturday, August 31 – before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
  • Sunday, September 1– before 11 a.m. and after 6 p.m.
  • Labor Day Monday, September 2 – before 10 a.m. and after 10 p.m.
