A TransCore news release marks the company’s recent successful launch of an “Infinity Digital Lane System with updated E-ZPass infrastructure and fully integrated toll-by-plate transaction processing capabilities” at all four toll West Virginia Turnpike toll plazas. The new roadside collection system fulfills the turnpike’s need for advanced tolling technology that optimizes transaction processing and accommodates motorists’ increasing reliance on electronic toll payment while supporting a range of convenient payment options, toll-by-plate included.
Jeff Miller, executive director of the West Virginia Parkways Authority (WVPA), the turnpike operator, commented, “This system upgrade was crucial for ensuring WVPA can efficiently operate and support our travelers well into the future. . . . Many Turnpike drivers are already experiencing the benefits of the back-office system upgrade we partnered with TransCore to deploy a few months ago, but now that the lane technology is also live, I’m confident that our end-to-end systems are providing more efficient, streamlined travel for our motorists.”
TransCore and the authority also collaborated on deploying the 2008 system that the new, upgraded technology has replaced. Whitt Hall, TransCore President and CEO, commented, “Having worked in close partnership with WVPA for the better part of two decades, it’s exciting to see our technology, people, and combined efforts culminate in a technologically advanced system that continues to improve the user experience for Turnpike motorists.”
