EPA and DOE should fight to get all toll roads BANNED, to eliminate all the
pollution and wasted gas caused from people sitting in line. Rich locals may
have ez-pass, but occasional users and through traffic have to pay cash.
Wouldn't be too bad if they had one booth at the start of a long strech, but
many areas have you stopping every few minutes to pay a quarter.
