Video tolling is “a form of electronic toll collection, which uses still images of a vehicle鈥檚 license plate to identify a vehicle liable to pay a toll. The image is captured as the vehicle drives under the gantry or through a toll plaza at a toll-collection facility,” according to the MDTA website.
鈥淪tart toll payments now 鈥� don鈥檛 wait until it鈥檚 too late. Customers now have two months remaining to take advantage of the plan鈥檚 limited-time opportunity,鈥� MDTA said in the statement.
