National Pass!
A January 10th article in the NYT, "Giving Drivers More Access to Fast Lanes," discussed efforts to develop interoperable electronic toll payment devices. Unfortunately, systems that will fully work together seem a long way off.
Surprisingly, a company called "Highway Toll Administration" in GREAT NECK is working on equipping Budget rental cars with EZPass transponders. What a great idea! I guess it isn't so surprising that people living in Great Neck would feel the acute pain of waiting in non-electronic toll lines.
The other proposed solution (from American Traffic Solutions), seems like an even more appealing option. Their "PassPlate" would allow users to pass through any electronic tollbooth and use a universal credit account to pay tolls. Now THAT is a good idea...but we really have to think about how to prevent PassPilfery!
