A consortium that failed to win the right to build High Occupancy Toll lanes in Montgomery County has lost its initial protest, Maryland Matters has learned.
The consortium, a group of firms that formed under the banner Capital Express Mobility Partners, filed a formal protest in March, after the Maryland Department of Transportation awarded the multi-billion dollar contract to a rival, Accelerate Maryland Partners (AMP).
In its filing, Capital Express Mobility Partners (CEMP) accused MDOT of “an unfair and unrealistic gaming” of its scoring system to benefit AMP.
The Accelerate group was led by Transurban, the transportation behemoth that built and owns a sprawling network of “managed lanes” in Northern Virginia, including large portions of the Capital Beltway (I-495).
