How does that work if someone doesn’t have EZ Pass?
Each toll gantry has cameras that can take a picture of the driver’s license plate, and from that, a bill can be sent to him through the mail.
On the Golden Gate Bridge, they snap a photo of the back of your car, then using the license plate number mail you an invoice. It is really slick and actually works well.
I don’t know if California DMV works,with other state DMVs to mail invoices to out-of-state tourists.
The EZ-pass only system has been in place in Illinois for awhile. Massachusetts isn’t breaking new ground.
“Each toll gantry has cameras that can take a picture of the driver’s license plate, and from that, a bill can be sent to him through the mail.”
But the bill is not just for the toll. The bill includes a big fat admin fee. Here in VA, I think the fee is around $12. I would expect that John Law can give you a healthy piece of paying paper when he pulls you over for some other infraction and finds you without an ezpass. The signs requiring the expass device are yuge and series.
Yep that's a stumper. Maybe you could google for an article about Massachusetts removing all their toll booths. Such an article might have that information.
Don’t know how it works in MA, but in North TX anyone travelling one of the toll roads without a TollTag (which is a transponder with a pre-paid account attached,where toll fees are deducted as the driver passes through an electronic toll location) , receives a bill in the mail. This only works for vehicles with in-state license plates. The entity running the North TX toll roads, the North Texas Tollway Authority or NTTA, does not have access to information on out-of-state license tags. In short, those drivers are given a pass as the tolling authority cannot locate them. Just my $0.02 worth.
You’ll get a bill in the mail with a picture of your license plate.
