Collectors Considered for $17.5 Million in Overdue Tolls

Out-of-state drivers who haven’t paid tolls for using the Intercounty Connector in the last two years owe Maryland more than $17 million.

In fiscal 2017 and 2018, the Maryland Transportation Authority has referred $54.5 million in tolls and fines racked up by drivers from other states to a Maryland government central debt collection unit, and only about 2.4% has been recovered, according to information presented last week to a state legislative committee.

About a third of the debt — $17,454,117 — is from the ICC, according to a spokeswoman for the MDTA, which oversees the ICC and other toll roads and bridges, including the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
