Indiana Toll Road will be using a brand called I-Zoom for their electronic tolling, the concession company has announced. They asked for public suggestions for a distinctive Indiana brand late last year.
The electronic toll system will start coming on line early this summer in the barrier system in the west and be available on the ticket system by about the end of the year, officials say. They are hoping to have transponders for sale to motorists by May.
True, there are other toll agencies that have local names for their EZ-Pass compatible transponders, but I can’t help but wonder (for example) how many casual EZ-Pass users do the old tickets-and-cash routine in Massachusetts because they miss the small “EZ-Pass accepted” tags on the FastLane signs.
Hidden within the article is another bit of good news. Ohio is apparently joining the EZ-Pass family in 2009, meaning that one toll transponder will be good from Maine to Virginia to Illinois.
