My weekend and the future of transportation technology

Hello all,

This weekend I read up on Training, Talent Management & Development, and Performance Management & Appraisal. I also went to the Berkeley marina. Tried some new food, saw circus acts and dancing, paddled on a Dragonboat and saw fireworks.

While surfing around on WSJ I came across this article
"Electronic Tolls Trump Cash on the Highways" (link in title) which says that some states are considering moving toward a new toll system. The new system would have commuters install a transponder in their car which pays the toll automatically instead of having them stop. It would free up congestion on toll roads and bridges. This sounds good in theory because traffic is bad in places like the Bay Area which have one access point per area however there are still many kinks to be worked out like tourists.
