I do know that the I-Pass is accepted on the Indiana Toll Road and is also valid on various East Coast toll roads and bridges so there is a certain amount of compatability among various systems.
blue streak 1Automatic fare collection systems have been hog tied because of patent infringment suits. Smart systems LLC had made the patent claims on abstract ideas. Circuit court of appeals upheld a district court in a Chicago case saying that claims were invalid and actual patents were not valid. Guess it will go to the Supremes so to apply USA wide ? Had often wondered why the slow roll out of various systems. https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=6b2df110-82ad-43f4-9628-99fa40e33612&utm_source=Mailing+List&utm_campaign=12380cd301-weekly_rss_email_campaign&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_bdaa94be1c-12380cd301-76981317 EDIT Wonder if this may apply to other systems such as road tolls ? Anyone know of different rulinngs in other Circuits ?

Don't know the specifics of road tolls, however, it is my belief that some states use incompatible technologies from other states.
While I personally have little interaction with toll roads, if the technologies were compatible between all the toll systems that I have occasion to use from time to time I might join. As it is, I would just be throwing more money away.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
