We’re moving towards that here in the NYC area; too much of the tolls were just used to pay the toll collectors.
I have no problem with the concept (users of a service paying for it), but the tech involved is creepy. When EZ Pass was first rolled out here, the authorities said it wouldn’t be used for law enforcement - then promptly used it to help solve a murder (in which the perps were driving the victim’s car, unaware it had a transponder, and were eventually caught).

Yeh, I’ve traveled on business to NJ, NY, etc. and toll rates are much higher than here in Texas. Not sure I understand why this is. Even though Texas toll rates are less than in the northeast, the fam and I use non-toll roads as much as possible.
