Maryland tolls could rise under proposed General Assembly plan

Maryland lawmakers are homing in on plans to raise some toll rates for the first time in a decade and to place a new fee on electric vehicles to start solving a roughly $3.3 billion transportation budget deficit in the coming years. Details of both plans — including who would be affected by the toll hikes and the amount of the vehicle fee — are up in the air as the General Assembly enters the final month of its annual 90-day session.
