Pay-by-Plate - How it works

Pay-By-Plate is a hassle-free way to pay Maryland tolls. Tolls are automatically billed to your credit card each time you use Maryland’s facilities, with no need for a transponder.

With Pay-By-Plate, each time you travel through a participating toll facility, a camera takes a photo of your registered license plate. The system then charges the toll directly to the credit card associated with your Pay-By-Plate account.

Getting Started with Pay-By-Plate

When you sign up for Pay-By- Plate, you will need to provide your vehicle and credit card information. There is no need to install a transponder in your vehicle.

Toll Rates

Registering your license plate pays! There are no fees to enroll in Pay-By-Plate, and Pay-By-Plate rates are the same as prior cash toll rates.
