Will the system be "smart" enough to realize a motorcycle passed through on the HOT lanes and not charge your account?
Your motorcycle should be carrying a class 136 transponder. Presumably, the system will be smart enough to know not to charge vehicles carrying the class 136. If their system charges motorcycle transponders, we would have to shield our E-ZPass.
They have a switchable transponder for carpoolers.
