Around here, there are no cash tollbooths left. It really isn’t cost effective to collect and process quarters, and it certainly isn’t cost effective to make change.

Florida ought to consider entering the 21st century if they are still collecting cash along the roadside.

But in an area heavily reliant on and visited by tourists, the likelihood of those tourists having a SunPass is much lower than the locals, rental cars equipped with SunPass notwithstanding.

If it’s not ‘cost effective’ to process hard currency then I submit that the pay-as-you-go system is unfit for purpose.

Also you get to scam the Disney tourists by getting rid of cash. Rental car companies can charge huge rental fees for transponders, along with padded toll charges. The cheapest way for a one time tourist in a rental car to get through a toll is with cash. Another way Floriduh screws the Disney tourists.
