Maryland Transportation Authority - Tolls - Collection and Use (Maryland Toll Rate Reform Act of 2025)

HB 1068, the Maryland Toll Rate Reform Act of 2025, establishes a new "Transportation Facilities Overage Account" within the Transportation Trust Fund. It requires the Maryland Transportation Authority to set toll rates to maximize revenue above specific thresholds, with the extra funds directed to this account. The bill mandates that these funds be used exclusively for: (1) constructing/maintaining state highways connecting to toll facilities, and (2) transit or highway projects that relieve traffic congestion at toll locations by offering alternative commute options. This directly affects drivers using toll roads and the Authority’s revenue management, changing how excess toll revenue must be allocated rather than altering current toll amounts.
