RE: Proposed Maryland Toll Increases - Unbelieveable!
Not saying whether I agree with the exact increases proposed, but I find the following interesting ... we all want the best roads, public schools and services, but we never want to pay more taxes (tolls) to obtain them. Seems like at least a portion of the increase is justifyable.
From the Maryland Transportation Authority Website:
"It has been years, decades in some cases, since the MDTA raised many of its toll rates. Commuter toll rates were last raised in 1985 for Baltimore toll facilities and in 1983 for the Bay and Nice bridges. Toll rates for passenger vehicles were last raised in 2003 at the Baltimore toll facilities, the Kennedy Highway and the Hatem Bridge and in 2001 at the Nice Bridge. The Bay Bridge toll rate for passenger vehicles is lower now than when the original span opened in 1952, when drivers of passenger cars paid $2.80 round trip, plus $.25 per passenger. Toll rates for vehicles with three or more axles were last raised at all facilities in 2009."
