Massachusetts Considers Technology To Track Drivers' Travel
Toll booths in Massachusetts � and across the nation � could be heading the way of manual typewriters and vinyl records. Instead of fumbling for change or navigating through special lanes in transponder-equipped cars, drivers may soon have to do little more than cruise on and off highways passing under a metal beam spanning the entire width of the road. At the end of the month they�d receive a bill, much like any other utility bill. Except this bill would log each time they entered or exited a highway system, how far they traveled and how much they owed.
