Overview of MDX

  open roadway networks known

  a toll

Our Voyage to ORT

  facilities

  elected officials and opinion leaders

  facility

Our Voyage to ORT

• A toll, like any fare, is the fairest way of
  charging the user for the facility (or service
  utility) that they use. A toll is not a tax, a
  tax, everyone pays regardless of use, with a
  toll, only the users pay.

• Direct correlation between tolls and improvements
• Equitable System, efficient to the users

  transponders
