a system where tolls are collected electronically without accepting cash payments at toll booths
Cashless tolling is a system where drivers pay tolls without using cash or stopping at toll booths. Instead, tolls are collected electronically through devices like transponders or by reading a vehicle's license plate. The toll amount is charged to a pre-paid account or billed to the vehicle owner. The purpose of cashless tolling is to reduce traffic delays, eliminate the need for cash handling, and improve efficiency on toll roads, making the driving experience smoother and faster.
- Many highways now use cashless tolling to keep traffic moving smoothly and to make paying tolls easier for drivers.
- With cashless tolling, drivers either have a device in their car that automatically pays the toll, or their license plate is scanned.
- The main benefit of cashless tolling is that it saves time for drivers because they don't have to stop to pay their tolls.
- Governments are encouraging cashless tolling to upgrade roads and bridges and to make travel more efficient for everyone.
- The transition to cashless tolling aims to modernize infrastructure and reduce operational costs associated with traditional toll collection methods.
