E-470's ExpressToll Becomes Interoperable With Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas Systems
KDVR reports, effective Sunday, June 2, E-470 Public Highway Authority’s ExpressToll and toll systems in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas will become interoperable. An authority announcement stated the enhancement follows its board’s 2022 decision to join the Central United States Interoperability Hub (CUSIOP). “This is a major milestone for the Authority, and the E-470 Board of Directors is proud to support an initiative that will provide a better experience for the people in Colorado when they travel to neighboring states, and also for those customers visiting our state,” commented E-470 chair John Diak. ExpressToll is also accepted on the Northwest Parkway and Colorado DOT express lanes. Colorado is the fourth state to participate in the Central Hub, joining Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.

The Cool Down, a website that provides news and advice on “sustainable living,” offers a positive and optimistic look at Manhattan congestion pricing through an interview with Alex Matthiessen, one of the MTA program’s most prominent proponents. The article’s premise is that an expected overall traffic reduction of 15-to-20 percent could mean “less asthma-causing pollution, fewer vehicle and pedestrian accidents, less annoying horn-honking, higher worker productivity, and a huge investment in the city’s public transit system.” Matthiessen discusses the origins of the MTA program and its current, mostly unpopular, public perception. He also responds to several common criticisms. Like MTA chief Janno Lieber, Matthiessen expresses confidence that New Yorkers will come to accept — and even embrace — congestion pricing once they experience its benefits.
