New Pay-By-Plate Option Now Available To Maryland Drivers

MARYLAND — Pay-By-Plate happens to be a new payment option that’s a hassle-free way to pay Maryland tolls. After opening an account, tolls are automatically billed to a registered credit card each time you use Maryland facilities, with no need for a transponder or pre-paid toll balance. It may be used on vehicles with 10 axles or less.

This account type requires vehicle information and valid credit card information for processing payment. When a vehicle’s license plate is read by MDTA tolling equipment, the credit card on your pay-by-plate account is charged for the toll.

The Maryland Transportation Authority encourages motorists who have traveled Maryland toll roads without an E-ZPass or Pay-By-Plate account to look for video tolls by visiting www.driveezmd.com. Click on "pay tolls" and input vehicle information. You will then be able to see if your trips have posted in the system for the vehicle and make payment.

If your vehicle is not in the system, stay tuned as we will continue to post additional video toll transactions online that will allow customers to make proactive electronic payments to save 15 percent (up to a $5 total discount) before notices of toll due are mailed. Payments made electronically after the NOTD mailing date are not eligible for the early payment discount.
