just like plate-pay on toll roads, how may paper tags, out of state and no subscribing tribe tags, no tolls collected. but if you pay thru plate-pay they charge almost twice pike pass. how are they going to collect for people that travel thru the state

And that equals no new highways. Seriously, I can attest that ODOT prides itself on getting the best bang for improvement for the buck. And only 20% of most projects are state funds. 80% are federal.
