This is definitely something to keep an eye on. Note the increased fees and new charge for ez pass customers - I do not think it is worth $18 a year for as much as we use it. Also if you don't already have ez pass notice the charge for issuing new transponders.
considering increasing tolls at most facilities effective 4/15/09.
