Electronic Toll Collection and E-ZPass?
Electronic toll collection, referred to as “ETC”, is a proven method of toll collection that eliminates the need for cash, tokens, or credit card-like swipe cards to change hands at a tollbooth. Instead, vehicles are equipped with a small electronic device, called a transponder or tag, that transmits both vehicle and account information through a reader located in a toll lane equipped with the technology. Data is then processed and the appropriate toll is debited from the customer’s established prepaid account.
