The Maryland Transportation Authority consolidated tolls across several facilities under a single interchangeable ticket system, meaning this 1 Fare note was valid across different crossings rather than being tied to a single booth. That kind of multi-facility scrip was uncommon in American toll administration and required coordination between separately staffed operations.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, opened in 1977, was the newest of the named facilities at the time this ticket circulated. It collapsed in March 2024 after being struck by the container ship Dali — making surviving examples of this note unexpectedly documentary.
