Tolling is the collection of fees for the use of roads, bridges, tunnels, or highways. These fees fund infrastructure maintenance, improvements, and expansion, helping ensure safer, more efficient transportation networks.
Common tolling systems include:
Manual/Cash tolling: Drivers pay at a toll booth.
Electronic toll collection (ETC): Uses transponders or tags for automatic payments.
Video tolling/License plate recognition: Captures license plates and bills drivers electronically.
Dynamic or congestion pricing: Adjusts toll rates based on traffic levels.
Innovations like AI-powered analytics, mobile payment apps, and smart highway infrastructure are streamlining operations, reducing congestion, improving safety, and enhancing the customer experience.
