Reply to comment by Mobile-Shoe-9902 in Cashless Tolling on the Turnpike by ABrusca1105

What??? How does that logic work? The vast vast majority of people already use EZPass and read the amount from the sign and don't pull out a wallet. There is also a huge formal process for toll-setting, which was previously basically whenever they wanted but recently changed it to inflation-based.

Also, if we wanted tolls that charged whatever, we would do dynamic tolls that charged based on demand. (which I would support, but that's a separate issue)

If you check your statement, the amount drawn is always more than you actually use. So the ez-pass earns interest in your money. Even when your on vacation they have your money in their account!
