How Tolls Work in the USA

Tolls in the USA are typically collected on highways, bridges, and tunnels to fund infrastructure projects and improve traffic flow. The most common toll systems include:

Electronic Toll Collection (ETC): Uses devices like E-ZPass, SunPass, or FasTrak to automatically deduct tolls from your account.
Manual Tolls: Require you to pay cash or by credit card at toll booths.
Distance-Based Tolls: Charge based on the distance traveled, often used on toll roads like the New Jersey Turnpike.

Many states offer discounts for ETC users, so it's worth considering getting an E-ZPass or similar transponder if you frequently travel toll roads.

Toll Cost Formula:

Toll Cost = (Number of Tolls × Average Toll Rate) + (Distance × Distance-Based Rate)
