Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is committed to implementing all-electronic tolling (AET) by the middle of 2016; the Tobin Bridge will be converted first as a demonstration to familiarise the public, according to Frank DePaola, the state's highway administrator.
The state is going all-electronic because with modern technology it's the most cost-effective way to collect tolls, and because it reduces delays to motorists and improves safety at toll points, he said. MassDOT has estimated it will save IS$45 million a year in operating expenses with AET.
He said an important part of the conversion will be establishing reciprocal arrangements with other states to support one another's enforcement of deadbeat motorists who don't pay toll bills under open road toll arrangements.
