Over 50 per cent of drivers now have the "EX-Pass" type transponders that automatically deduct tolls from their bank accounts. So people drive through them without even knowing how much they are being charged.
At some point, there will be automated tolls on virtually ever highway and it will cost the average motorist between $500 and $1,000 per month to drive he roadways.

This is quite possible. What should frustrate all of us, is that we already pay substantial gas taxes, each time we go to the gas station. These gas taxes are supposed to pay for road maintenance.
This prompts me to wonder, where are our gas taxes going, if there will be the need to charge more and more tolls on various roads????
Correctamundo. The Mass Turnpike is taking down their toll booths and are requiring the use of EZ-Pass transponders. If you don't have one, that's ok, they'll just send you a bill. Don't wanna pay it? That's ok. Just try getting your license or registration renewed. They get you coming and going. Pun intended.
