Maryland MVA partners with the Maryland Center for Commercial Driver Training Programs (MCCDTP) for ELDT delivery. If you are pursuing the Passenger Transport portion of the Maryland CDL exam, the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration will use the same federal core questions you practice here, plus any state-specific items the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration chooses to include.
