"Starting Monday, no more cash at Tobin tolls" by Martine Powers | Globe Staff July 17, 2014
Drivers will have to pay the toll with an E-ZPass transponder, or, if they don’t have an E-ZPass, a bill will be mailed to the address associated with their vehicle’s license plate number.
This month, the agency began testing license plate readers installed at the Boston end of the Tobin to ensure that the high-speed cameras were able to accurately capture license plate numbers.
No software glitches I hope. Remember when way back when the cameras were only going to be used to catch terrorists, we promise?
The switch to all-electronic tolling is meant to save the transportation agency money in the long run by eliminating the need to employ toll collectors.
Not that I want taxpayer dollars wasted but isn't that job someone's livelihood?
