The fund&#8217;s weighted average maturity normally ranges from two to five years and is not expected to exceed five years. Most investments are in investment-grade securities, which are securities rated in one of the four highest credit categories (AAA, AA, A, or BBB, or an equivalent rating) as determined by at least one major credit rating agency or, if unrated, deemed to be of comparable quality by T. Rowe Price. The fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets in noninvestment-grade securities, known as &#8220;junk&#8221; bonds in the taxable bond market, including those with the lowest credit ratings.<br/><br/>Investment decisions reflect the portfolio manager&#8217;s outlook for interest rates and the economy, as well as the prices, yields, and credit quality of various securities in which the fund may invest. For example, if interest rates are expected to fall, the fund may purchase longer-term securities (to the extent consistent with the fund&#8217;s investment program) in an attempt to seek higher yields and/or capital appreciation. Conversely, if interest rates are expected to rise, the fund may seek securities with shorter maturities.<br/><br/>Normally, at least 80% of the fund&#8217;s income will be exempt from federal income taxes. However, up to 20% of the fund&#8217;s income could be derived from securities subject to the alternative minimum tax.<br/><br/>From time to time, the fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in sectors with special risks, such as health care, transportation, utilities, or private activity bonds. The fund may sell holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust the portfolio&#8217;s average maturity, duration, or overall credit quality, or to shift assets into and out of higher-yielding or lower-yielding securities or certain sectors.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaPrincipal investment strategies of the Fund.

The fund&#8217;s share price fluctuates, which means you could lose money by investing in the fund. The principal risks of investing in this fund are summarized as follows:<br/><br/><b>Active management risk</b> The fund is subject to the risk that the investment adviser&#8217;s judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of the fund&#8217;s investments may prove to be incorrect. If the securities selected and strategies employed by the fund fail to produce the intended results, the fund could underperform other funds with similar objectives and investment strategies.<br/><br/><b>Market risk</b> This is the risk that the value of securities owned by the fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.<br/><br/><b>Credit risk</b> This is the risk that an issuer of a debt security could suffer an adverse change in financial condition that results in a payment default, security downgrade, or inability to meet a financial obligation. Economic downturns often result in reduced levels of taxes collected and revenues earned for municipalities and a municipal government&#8217;s pension or health care related obligations to its employees may exceed its available assets or income. This, in turn, lessens the financial strength of a municipality and increases the credit risk of the securities it issues. The fund&#8217;s exposure to credit risk is increased to the extent the fund invests in noninvestment-grade &#8220;junk&#8221; bonds. Junk bonds should be considered speculative as they carry greater risk of default and erratic price swings due to adverse changes in the credit quality of the issuer.<br/><br/><b>Interest rate risk</b> This is the risk that a rise in interest rates will cause the price of a fixed rate debt security to fall. Generally, securities with longer maturities and funds with longer weighted average maturities carry greater interest rate risk.<br/><br/><b>Municipal securities risk</b> The fund will be highly impacted by events tied to the overall municipal securities markets, which can be very volatile and significantly affected by unfavorable legislative or political developments and adverse changes in the financial conditions of municipal securities issuers and the economy. Income from municipal securities held by the fund could be declared taxable because of changes in tax laws or interpretations by taxing authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a municipal security issuer. In addition, a portion of the fund&#8217;s otherwise tax-exempt dividends may be taxable to those shareholders subject to the alternative minimum tax.<br/><br/>Certain sectors of the municipal bond market have special risks that can impact such sectors more significantly than the market as a whole. For example, health care can be hurt by rising expenses and dependency on third party reimbursements, transportation can be impacted by declining revenues or unexpectedly high construction costs, utilities are subject to governmental rate regulation, and private activity bonds rely on project revenues and the creditworthiness of the corporate user as opposed to governmental support.<br/><br/><b>Liquidity risk</b> This is the risk that the fund may not be able to sell a holding in a timely manner at a desired price. The secondary market for certain municipal bonds tends to be less developed and liquid than many other securities markets, which may adversely affect the fund&#8217;s ability to sell such municipal bonds at attractive prices.falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaNarrative Risk Disclosure.

All returns should be shown for 1-, 5-, and 10- calendar year periods ending on the date of the most recently completed calendar year (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement. The table also should show the returns of an appropriate broad-based securities market index as defined in Instruction 5 to Item 22(b)(7) for the same periods. A Fund that has been in existence for more than 10 years also may include returns for the life of the Fund. A Money Market Fund may provide the Fund's 7-day yield ending on the date of the most recent calendar year or disclose a toll-free (or collect) telephone number that investors can use to obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield.

For a Fund that provides annual total returns for only one calendar year or for a Fund that does not include the bar chart because it does not have annual returns for a full calendar year, modify, as appropriate, the narrative explanation required by paragraph (c)(2)(i) (e.g., by stating that the information gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance).Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Subsection b -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iv false0Performance Table Narrative25false 3rr_PerformanceTableHeadingrr_falsenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalse1falsefalsefalse00<b>Average Annual Total Returns<br/><br/>Periods ended<br/>December 31, 2012</b>falsefalsefalsexbrli:stringItemTypestringThis item represents Average Anuual Total Returns.

A Money Market Fund should show only the returns described in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. All returns should be shown for 1-, 5-, and 10- calendar year periods ending on the date of the most recently completed calendar year (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement. The table also should show the returns of an appropriate broad-based securities market index as defined in Instruction 5 to Item 22(b)(7) for the same periods. A Fund that has been in existence for more than 10 years also may include returns for the life of the Fund. A Money Market Fund may provide the Fund's 7-day yield ending on the date of the most recent calendar year or disclose a toll-free (or collect) telephone number that investors can use to obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield. For a Fund (other than a Money Market Fund or a Fund described in General Instruction C.3.(d)(iii)), provide the information in the following table with the specified captions AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (For the periods ended December 31, _____)Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Subsection b -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iii false0Performance Table Closing [Text Block]falseRisk/Return Summary - (T.
