EZ Drive MA changes the way people move across Massachusetts by giving drivers an easy-to-use toll system that makes paying for things much simpler. With the addition of this computer toll collection system, the Massachusetts Turnpike, as well as many Boston tunnels and bridges, including the Tobin Memorial Bridge, are becoming faster ways to travel.
The program, which can be accessed through the PaybyPlateMa portal, wants to get rid of toll booths. This will greatly reduce traffic and pollution, which is good for both drivers and the earth.
By switching to an electronic system, Massachusetts’s toll road system hopes to save about 875,000 gallons of fuel each year and make the roads safer.
The goal of the plan is to cut down on crashes by getting rid of the sudden stops that come with regular toll booths. This new way of doing things fits with the state’s goal of making transportation more sustainable and safer for tourists, setting a new standard for infrastructure.
