1. NORTH AMERICA TOLL INTEROPERABILITY
Efficiency vs. Privacy in Motor Vehicle Programs

2. A Growing Industry Tolling Statistics
Over 100 North American toll authorities in 35 States
Several new authorities being planned
More than $10 Billion collected annually in North America
$7.3 Billion collected by the E-ZPass Group (Northeast)
$1 Billion collected by Florida Turnpikes
$1 Billion collected by Texas Turnpikes 2

3. From Stop & Go to Free Flow Tolling Evolution
A memory of the past (1980’S)
Toll booths (cash collection with gate arms)
The ultimate interoperability scheme
Harnessing RFID technology (1990’S)
Open Road Tolling (ORT)
Toll booths with separated highway
speed toll collection
This slide should promote all things AET – we’ve moved to AET for a reason…while cash collection was ‘fully interoperable’ it was dangerous, costly and time consuming.
Discussion Points:
Toll industry has been transitioning with new technology over the past 30 years
We have moved to AET because:
1. Customer desire – time & money savings!!
2. New customer base – cashless – nobody carries cash anymore
- Pay with transponder (banked)
- Pay with license plate (unbanked/underbanked/privacy concerns, etc.)
- Mention underbanked/unbanked payment options (new cash for credit cards, upcoming cellular options, CSC sites, etc.)
3. Significant money saving for agencies/states as well
- Reduced footprint/right-of-way
- Reduced installation – less infrastructure
- Reduced operating costs

4. From Stop & Go to Free Flow Tolling Evolution
Positioning for the future (Now!)
All Electronic Tolling (AET)
Highway speed tolls…no roadside
cash collection
Use multi-protocol reader to read
different transponders
Uses video for billing and violation
enforcement
Provides backbone for other pay-as-you go applications, e.g. VMT, Parking 4

5. Multi-Protocol Technology New and Improved Business Model
Multi-protocol readers can read different transponders (RFID) at highway speeds
Several agencies are installing multi-protocol readers
Creating new business agreements with multiple agencies
Does not require changing RFID technology
New Form Factors Offer New Opportunities
Toll industry is advancing RFID technology – dual protocol readers and new business agreements (EZG)
but it still has shortcomings

6. Image-based Tolling New and Improved Business Model
Image-based tolling is key to interoperability
Bill from license plate image
Bill users without transponders
Can eliminate cash collection
Augments incompatible electronic devices
Once a violator, now a customer
Increased reliance on accurate MVA databases
Cash customers still have option to pay cash
Solution to the shortcomings, is video tolling.
- Serves non/incompatible customers through plate billing but does rely on LP data (and as discussed in later slides, current customer data)
- Augments previous cash payers – they still have cash options as discussed in the last slide 6

7. Typical North American Toll Facility Demographics
Political Subdivision of the State
Established by State Statute
Does Not Receive Federal or State Funds
Does Not Receive Federal or State Gas Tax Funds
May Have an NLETS ORI
Subscribes to DPPA Requirements
Public Safety Services Provided by State Police
Increasingly Relies Upon DMVs for Operations
Solution to the shortcomings, is video tolling.
- Serves non/incompatible customers through plate billing but does rely on LP data (and as discussed in later slides, current customer data)
- Augments previous cash payers – they still have cash options as discussed in the last slide 7

8. Current US Interoperability Regional Networks
Discussion Part 1:
Interoperable regions include EZG, SunPass, TxTag and FasTrak. NC will soon be interoperable with FL and EZG with new dual-protocol readers.
Generally touch on incompatible technologies: Different vendors, patented technology and closed-architecture systems in each region – NC being the first to deploy MP Readers, but only compatible with two regions due to RFID technology restrictions.
Mention local v. occasional users
Discussion Part 2:
Each system is different, and not just the transponders ranging from $x to $x apiece, but the back office and roadside systems which work specifically with the transponders (customers) that are deployed and are complicated and expensive to install.
Over 40 million tags deployed today!!
Current interoperable regions have millions, some billions, if not more, of dollars invested in their individual systems.
POINT: NOT JUST A SWAP OF TECHNOLOGY (TAGS) – EXPENSIVE.

Solution to the shortcomings, is video tolling.
- Serves non/incompatible customers through plate billing but does rely on LP data (and as discussed in later slides, current customer data)
- Augments previous cash payers – they still have cash options as discussed in the last slide

$120 million in total revenue
$1.4 billion of debt
2.8 M Out of State Transactions
883K Transactions not Processed
Solution to the shortcomings, is video tolling.
- Serves non/incompatible customers through plate billing but does rely on LP data (and as discussed in later slides, current customer data)
- Augments previous cash payers – they still have cash options as discussed in the last slide 10

12. Transponders Deployed Regional Networks
Cost of converting to a single technology is enormous
Over 50 million customers use transponders
$500 million for transponder replacement
Cost of changing roadside and back office systems
Estimated $2 billion or more

13. Interoperability The Common Denominator
Solution without adapting to one technology
Provides reliable vehicle identification by combining RFID transponders, multi-protocol readers and ALPR Technologies
Next Step: Provide a system for information exchange 13

14. Interoperability HUB
Use shared customer data for billing outside “home territory”
1st portion: EXISTING customers only

15. Interoperability HUB Ability to expand to other services:
2nd Portion: Access to non-existing customers
Option to build into other services (parking, fleets, transit, etc.) Full transportation account

16. Implementation February 2011 Implement:
Issuing RFP for license plate interoperability hub
Pilot Program beginning mid-2011
Implement:
1st: License plate data exchange
2nd: RFID information exchange 16

17. License Plates Databases Solutions in the Making
Toll industry needs:
Improved access to vehicle registration information
Continued coordination with American Association of Motor Vehicles (AAMVA) and state and provincial MVAs
Could also mention:
Violation enforcement BUT not on their agenda and we are working on it state by state
Need for license plate change – BUT currently state ran
Potential for VMT through RFID – again, not on their agenda

18. AAMVA Working Group Discuss areas of Common Interest
License Plate Standards
Enforcement
Registration lookups and holds
HUB operations
Technology overlaps
