RV Website Finds CFX's Uni Transponder Comes Closest to Providing Toll Interoperability
RVtravel.com dives into the “subject of universal transponders, an almost mythical accessory at this point as the world has been waiting so long for them” and posts a video report by Changing Lanes on the efficacy of Uni, the transponder developed for the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX). Changing Lanes finds Uni “a solution that works most of the time [for frequent travelers]. At least 18 Eastern states — and 18 down to one cuts down on a lot of transponders and makes toll roads infinitely easier to navigate. No, we are still not 100% fully covered everywhere, but things have improved and are getting closer.”
