Paying Tolls AND Parking Even Easier?

I'm not sure there was a huge need for this, but it may be a little easier. Many of us already have those speed passes in the Midwest that we fill up with a little cash so we don't have to pick through our console and find change to toss in the toll, or talk to the grim toll booth workers. Of course we still have to pre-pay with these passes and that isn't exactly something I am a huge fan of.

In Alabama, American Roads Investments will release two mobile applications that will allow travelers to pay bridge tolls and parking charges at any Alabama Freedom Pass network facility.

"With these mobile applications travelers can link their phones with an existing Freedom Pass account or bill a major credit card (Visa, MasterCard and Discover)," said Neal Belitsky of American Roads Investments. Using the device deducts the toll amount from pre-paid funds or charges users on the go. You can even have a receipt e-mailed to you after each use.

Floridians Support Red Light Cameras

Imagine a day after work at the old Delta faucets factory and you just sort of creep through a red light to make a right turn in Florida. No More! You are on camera and are going to get a ticket!

Several cities throughout the state of Florida have begun installing red light running photo enforcement safety programs in an effort to increase traffic and pedestrian safety within their community.

And that's just fine with Florida citizens, according to a poll commissioned this summer by Florida's STOP! Red Light Running Coalition, an organization dedicated to making citizens aware of the red light running problem and provide ways to act upon this crisis through legislation, enforcement and education. full story
