MDTA POLICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS TARGET DANGEROUS DRIVING ACROSS MARYLAND

Additional Enforcement Initiatives Planned throughout the Summer

BALTIMORE, Md. (June 1, 2024) – Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Police Officers conducted high visibility traffic enforcement at all MDTA toll facilities, BWI Marshall Airport, and the Port of Baltimore during a largescale traffic safety initiative on Thursday, May 30, and Friday, May 31. Officers focused on leading causes of crashes including aggressive, distracted, and impaired driving.

MDTA Police Officers conducted 457 traffic stops and issued a combined 756 citations, warnings, and repair orders during the initiative. Three drivers were charged with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, one driver was charged with drug offenses, and four drivers were arrested on open warrants.

These MDTA Police efforts were supplemented by additional traffic safety and commercial vehicle safety enforcement conducted by officers from the Aberdeen Police Department, the Bel Air Police Department, the Baltimore County Police Department, the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, the Maryland Comptroller’s Office, the Maryland Department of the Environment, and the Maryland State Police.

Additional enforcement efforts are planned across Maryland throughout the summer travel months. To report dangerous driving on Maryland toll roads, contact MDTA Police Dispatch at 410-537-7911.

Those charged with a crime are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
