Feds mandate one toll pass for all 50 states
Now, how about a national transit pass, Rep. Mica? Make all transit fares payable via the EMV chip that all credit cards will have soon. Oh, and don't forget to provide funding for it.Rep. Mica has expressed disappointment with the toll industry's progress.
"I was a little bit concerned," Mica said. "We are coming up on one year to the deadline and I heard it wasn't coming together."
Mica is now threatening to introduce a penalty for states that don't comply with the unfunded mandate.
"So they know I mean business," Mica said. "That's the law and I want the law complied with and I think the consumer will like the convenience. The interstate is a national highway system and we set the parameters for use of that and sometimes you have to comply."
