12. Why the Push for Interoperability? Our industry is changing rapidly Our customers expect to be able to travel unimpeded throughout the country As technology advances, we have more options available for toll plaza operations There is now a natural movement toward All Electronic Tolling (AET) – Viewed as the ultimate configuration

14. Challenges of AET How to collect tolls from cash customers How to deal with infrequent users from other states Video imaging challenges Invoicing – proper address Payment/Leakage challenges – Of the $11 billion in annual toll revenue collected, close to $3 billion is still cash – That revenue is at risk !

15. What Are We Doing About It? Developing concepts for account management for cash customers Establishing HUB for customer lookup Increasing penetration of ETC program Establishing ETC interoperability between toll systems Drafting model legislation language for potential implementation by states Toll agencies working with neighboring states on regional agreements

16. What Are We Doing? Maine – New legislation in place allowing for reciprocal agreements for violations New Hampshire & Massachusetts – Agreement on MOA presently under legal review for implementation soon New Jersey – Discussions with New York and Connecticut Motor Vehicle Commissions on reciprocity Other Member Agencies – Various stages of discussions 16

17. Why We Need Your Help This is a growing problem that can only be solved with interstate cooperation Has significant impact on transportation infrastructure resources in your state! – States should strongly consider legislation to permit interstate reciprocity Toll industry has drafted model legislation that could be adopted by each state.
