Default Sad goodbye to the toll collector
I recall reading an article in the Sun a year or so ago when the changes went into full swing. Due to safety concerns with the collectors, maintenance of the equipment and efficiency of the system, the new process was inevitable. The "Pay by the Plate" fee is 15 - 25% higher than the SunPass/E-Pass rate, but they will track you down (personal experience) with a great picture of your license plate! I think all occupied toll booths are supposed to be eliminated by the end of this year. There may even be an article or a link on the SunPass website that explains it better.
