John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (I-95) All Electronic (Cashless) Tolling

_{The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) began highway-speed all-electronic tolling (AET) construction work in May 2021 at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway (Northbound I-95) toll plaza. The project will implement highway-speed AET at the JFK toll plaza on an interim basis until permanent AET conversion can be studied, designed, and constructed. With cashless toll collection, there’s no slowing or stopping to pay tolls. Instead, motorists pay tolls at highway speed via E-ZPass, Pay-By-Plate or Video Tolling. Benefits include increased safety, less engine idling and better fuel efficiency.}

_{The JFK project will convert the middle lanes of the toll plaza into highway-speed lanes by removing toll islands and booths and will be completed in 3 phases.}
