Maryland audit uncovers $1 million in potential toll overcharges

Thousands of drivers in Maryland were charged more than they should have paid when traveling through the state’s tolled roads, bridges and tunnels, according to a new state audit that confirms reports of irregularities in toll transactions in recent years.  The Maryland Transportation Authority collected more than $1 million in “potentially improper” tolls from drivers who were charged twice for the same trip or were charged when they shouldn’t have been, according to the review by the Maryland General Assembly’s Office of Legislative Audits.
