Are there civil liberties concerns? How would they be addressed?
A. E-ZPass has been operating in the city and region since 1993. Few drivers seem worried about threats to their privacy. Extending the system to the East River bridges introduces nothing new. Drivers who nevertheless wish to steer clear of E-ZPass will probably be able to buy “E-Z Cards” anonymously at gas stations and drug stores. The cash option will remain at existing tolled bridges and tunnels in any event.
