Parr8hed to the Lewis and Clark Bridge Phone

It took them a while, but I finally got a bill for the toll over the L&C Bridge from May 29th and August 7th. A whole $8 total. I was hoping that they couldn't find me due to my Illinois plates.

Still bothers me somewhat. When I get on a toll road, I expect that there's a toll booth to pay there and then.

There was no toll booth?  @Parr8hed, what kind of lame idea is that?

It's all electronic.  Looking at license plates and whatnot.  I have a transponder in my truck that will immediately take money out of my account.  If you do it this way it is only 2 dollars to cross.

It's progress. New technology takes humans out of toll collection. No booths to slow down traffic and lower overhead. Transponders get a discount over the photo shoot people, to encourage everyone to get the transponders. All the high occupancy toll lanes here have the cameras.
