| Comments |
Maryland Transportation Authority toll scrip of this type was issued for the Susquehanna River crossing on US Route 40 — specifically the Havre de Grace–Perryville span, one of the older fixed crossings on the northeastern corridor. Toll tokens and paper fare notes of this kind were typically issued in bulk to commercial accounts and frequent commuters as prepaid instruments, bypassing the cash transaction at the booth entirely.
Paper fare scrip from American toll authorities is poorly documented in most catalogs. Few agencies kept systematic records of print runs, and destruction after redemption was routine.
