Why are toll booths going away?

Описание: Toll agencies are tearing down staffed booths (cash lanes) because they are dangerous and slow. Instead, we have to start using electronic toll collection (ETC) -- those special transponder passes. But most toll passes won't work out of state. With no toll booths, how do you pay when you are on vacation?

I speak with Samuel Johnson, the chief operations officer for a southern California toll road agency (The Toll Roads - TCA), about a cool new technology which will soon make paying a toll easier than ever. It's called electronic toll interoperability, and it's all possible with a tiny sticker.
