agencies, subject to individual agency approval processes.

"E-ZPass is the world leader in toll interoperability. Our customers
have come to expect the enhanced travelling experience our
interoperable system provides. They will be well-served by the new
contract, as the more than 21 million transponders in use throughout
the 14-state E-ZPass region will remain fully compatible with the new
