AI Summary
This bill requires the Maryland Transportation Authority to submit a report by September 1, 2026, to specific legislative committees detailing E-ZPass discount plans and unused commuter trips from 2023 through 2025, including the number of plans, the percentage with unused trips, the value of those unused trips, and factors contributing to them. The report must also offer recommendations to reduce unused commuter trips, such as extending usage windows, allowing rollovers or credits, or implementing refund mechanisms. If more than 25% of discount plans had unused trips in any of those years, the Authority must also include a corrective action plan to minimize forfeiture of prepaid funds and protect consumers, with the entire act expiring after one year on June 30, 2027.
