A: Tolls will be collected without the use of toll booths or otherwise stopping to pay a toll. Instead, customers are identified while traveling at highway speeds through free-flow “toll zones.” To pay their toll, customers can use transponders which are radio-frequency tags that users affix to their windshield and are read from overhead gantries. Customers who choose not to use a transponder are detected at toll zones where a picture of their license plate is taken. These customers pay their tolls by establishing a pre-paid account or receiving a bill in the mail. There will also be a facility near the project that will accept cash payments.
