Thanks for that web site.

The links at the bottom to the "FasTrak" systems is the system used in
Orange County.

Eventually, it will be good if a standard system was used across the USA, so
that a person with a transponder for use in Orange County could drive to NJ
and use it on the turnpikes/parkways back there.

When those transponders become a universal accessory in all cars, the
concept of "pay-as-you-go" would become feasible, and perhaps lead to a more
rational means of paying for our highways.  Making the cost of each trip
more visible to the automobile and commercial truck users should result in a
wiser allocation of economic resources.
