According to the proposal of the first contract of the project, if the highway plan is shut down for various reasons, the state government will have to repay the early "pre-development cost". These include if the cost of land exceeds expectations, the federal government will retain its environmental permit, or the state assembly that approves a major contract will reject it.

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan stated that the toll line “will not incur any net cost” to taxpayers because the company will fund its construction in exchange for maintaining most of the fees through a 50-year public-private partnership income. The state's transportation director reiterated this commitment on Tuesday.
