“Rising Adoption of All-Electronic Tolling (AET) Systems”
- All-Electronic Tolling (AET) systems eliminate the need for physical toll booths, reducing delays and vehicle emissions
- AET provides seamless tolling through transponders or license plate recognition, enhancing the commuter experience
- States are increasingly adopting AET to streamline toll operations and reduce long-term infrastructure maintenance costs
- These systems also support cashless payments, aligning with broader consumer preferences for digital transactions
- For instance, the Massachusetts Turnpike switched entirely to AET in 2016, leading to reduced congestion and faster traffic flow
