E-ZPass Disputes

Dispute an E-ZPass or Toll Violation in Maryland

Maryland's toll roads, bridges, and tunnels are run by the Maryland Transportation Authority. Here's how to dispute a toll notice you believe is wrong.

Who Issues Toll Notices in Maryland?

Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA)

Operates Maryland's toll facilities, including the Bay Bridge, the Fort McHenry and Baltimore Harbor tunnels, the Intercounty Connector, and the I-95 Express Toll Lanes.

E-ZPass Maryland

Handles E-ZPass accounts for Maryland drivers and processes video tolls for vehicles without a transponder.

How Toll Disputes Work in Maryland

Drivers without E-ZPass are generally billed by video toll. If a toll goes unpaid, a notice of toll due can be followed by a notice of toll violation with an added civil penalty, and unpaid violations can affect your vehicle registration. Follow the contest instructions and deadline on your notice.

How to Dispute a Toll Violation in Maryland

  1. Identify the Issuing Agency

    The agency's name, the notice number, and the dispute instructions are printed on your notice.

  2. Check Your Deadline

    Dispute windows vary by agency. Use the date on your notice, and don't wait until the last day.

  3. Decide Why the Charge Is Wrong

    For example, your transponder wasn't read, you were charged twice, the plate was misread, or you no longer owned the vehicle.

  4. Gather Your Evidence

    Collect account statements, payment records, and any documents that support your reason.

  5. Send Your Dispute the Way the Notice Says

    Use the address, portal, or form the agency lists, and keep a copy of everything.

Common Reasons to Dispute a Toll Notice in Maryland

  • Your E-ZPass transponder was mounted and funded but wasn't read
  • You already paid the toll or were charged twice
  • The plate was misread, or the vehicle isn't yours
  • You sold, transferred, or reported the vehicle stolen before the trip
  • The violation fees were added before you received a first notice

Evidence That Can Support Your Dispute

  • Your E-ZPass account statement showing an active, funded account
