CT did away with theirs after a fatal accident at a tollbooth. MA used to be free in western part of state and there were hopes of making the whole MA Turnpike free someday (it was supposed to be, decades ago) but now the exits that were free are being returned to tolls.
Noticed in places like PA Turnpike, etc that you could buy the EZPass at a rest area, and saw the thing about linking to credit card. I thought that if I used it enough it would be worth it, but I’m not sure I trust the credit card linking and I don’t use toll roads regularly.
I think MA will do away with toll takers and use EZPass, and for those who don’t have it, a pic will be taken of license plate and bill mailed to you.
I-89 and I-91 in Vt. are useful roads; thankfully, no tolls.
