E-ZPass Misuse Surge in Twin Cities

E-ZPass Lanes: A Surge in Illegal Use - The Twin Cities E-ZPass lanes are experiencing a significant increase in drivers using them without proper setup, with nearly half of the drivers between October and December last year bypassing the need for a transponder or carpool. The issue is particularly prevalent on I-35W, with nearly 65% of drivers using the express lanes illegally during the evening rush. State troopers are cracking down with special beacons, resulting in over 9,600 vehicles stopped for violations, with almost half receiving citations or warnings. MnDOT is exploring new technology to address the issue, as fines can reach up to $300. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
