EZ-Pass or EZ-Cash? Why Toll Roads Are a Bad Idea

"Electronic transponder technology, like E-ZPass, is making toll roads more palatable, but that doesn’t mean toll roads are good public policy.

Toll roads are an inefficient, backwards approach to providing public highways. Worse, they foster corruption, political patronage, and discourage needed improvements on the rest of the highway system."

-- James Baxter, President, National Motorists Association
