An investment group in Connecticut doesn’t like the term “toll roads.” Instead, they’d rather refer to the practice as “value pricing.”

The state’s Transportation Strategy Board is considering adding electronic E-ZPass toll lanes to its highway system, despite a bill in the U.S. Senate that could put a nationwide ban on new tolls from being added to interstates, the Stamford Advocate reported. According to the Connecticut Post, the electronic nature of E-ZPass would allow officials to vary the price of the toll, based on road and traffic conditions, thus introducing “value pricing” onto the roadways

E-ZPass is an electronic toll system, common on the east coast, which allows drivers to move through toll lanes at near-highway speeds by using electronic transponders in their vehicles. Users must also set up an account with their area’s E-ZPass system in order to be billed for using the program.

Many trucking officials and commuters have come forward, saying the added tolls will cause dangerous, expensive slowdowns on already congested highways, the Post said. But supporters, including the program director of a neighboring state’s E-ZPass system, told the Advocate that electronic tolling allows officials to charge higher tolls on roads during peak traffic hours.

“All the states who are part of the system share one thing in common – congestion,” Walter Krislibas, program director for New Jersey’s E-ZPass system, told the Advocate. “E-ZPass has been successful in reducing congestion and the amount of fuel consumed, and it has created a more attractive choice for our customers.”

Critics, however, said the system still requires non-E-ZPass users to pull over and cross lanes of traffic, which creates an unsafe situation and slows traffic.

After New Hampshire opens its toll lanes this summer, Connecticut will be the last state in the northeast without tollways, the Advocate reported.

Connecticut hasn’t had tolls since 1985, when an asleep-at-the-wheel driver ran into three cars, killing 7 people. Former Gov. William O’Neill signed a bill that came about after the incident, according to the Advocate.
