The technology exists and is in use for high speed tolling. Implementation involves no toll booths, and It wouldn't create any extra traffic. In fact, because of the fee, tolls would actually reduce traffic. Talking about toll booths in this context is simply a red herring. No one — no one — is advocating for toll booths or EZ Pass-only.

And you can't make them EZ Pass only. Do you have any idea what kind of traffic snarls would be caused by toll booths on these bridges? And you can’t make them EZ Pass only.

Darn I should've lived in Queens.
