RE:RE:Tolling ContractsI noticed that too Muskie. It would be helpful if a board member with technical expertise reviewed the ETC technology. My layman's read is that it is a modular, open source system and that its construction allows for efficiency. Again, as a layman, I concluded that it was ETC's advanced technology that supported the pricing. However, a foot in the door may also have been an important part of the pricing. I liked that there were several hints at expansion of the contract, and indeed scalability was an important feature required in the proposals.
Importantly, the fact that the northeast concentrated E-ZPass network has been historically Kapsch's and TransCore's territory means that, in addition, this contract win should present tolling operations/back office opportunities over the next 2 to 5 years.
