Port Auth NY/NJ to move to cashless tolling

Another reason I don't get a SunPass for Florida, or an E-Z Pass for the Northeast & Mid-Atlantic.

Unfortunately, many jurisdictions (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio) charge significantly more (50-100%) to use cash if you still can.  Plus, these cashless installations add a "administrative fee" if they have to mail you a bill.

We'll probably all need to get at least one of these electronic passes eventually, but I'm going to hold out as long as I can.

I use toll facilities voluntarily less than once a month, generally only if I'm heading west via the I-80 corridor or east across the Hudson River.  I have absolutely no reason to pay a monthly fee or to even waste my money by letting it sit in an account to gather moss.  For the few times a year I do encounter a toll plaza, I'm willing to sit and stop and pay.  If AET comes with a fee, I am most likely just going to continue to route myself around those tolls and stop at the ones that still have manned booths like Bear Mountain Bridge.
