Public Hearings Set For Maryland Toll Savings Plan

ANNAPOLIS, MD — With a toll modernization system coming online next year, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) is holding public hearings on a package of tolling options that would provide cost savings for motorists. The administration of Gov. Larry Hogan says the toll relief package could save Marylanders more than $28 million over five years.

The MDTA has scheduled a series of public hearings, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at locations across Maryland. An open house at each event will begin at 6 p.m., with testimony received from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Two hearings will take place in the Baltimore area:

• Wednesday, Sept. 4, at Dundalk Middle School, 7400 Dunmanway in Dundalk
• Monday, Sept. 9, at Patapsco Arena, 3301 Annapolis Road in Baltimore

Locations will be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Sign-language interpreters, non-English language interpreters, real-time captioning and assisted listening devices can be provided upon request.
