Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)
 

Our transponders have emerged as the leading in-vehicle transaction link in most ETC deployments in North America. From Virginia and Massachusetts to New York and Canada, MARK IV is the preferred name for ETC transponders because of their high-performance, low-cost, dependability and seamless interoperability among toll facilities. More than 17 million MARK IV transponders are reliably and accurately processing millions of ETC transactions each day on toll roads, bridges and tunnels in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, Maryland, Illinois, New Hampshire and Maine. Since 1994, MARK IV transponders have been the backbone of the E-ZPassSM ETC network, the continent's largest interoperable ETC deployment. Operated by the InterAgency Group (IAG), a consortium of 24 transportation agencies and port authorities spread across 14 states, the E-ZPassSM network is powered by MARK IV transponders and readers.
