About this Article

You may have started 2012 determined to boycott the tollway after rates nearly doubled, but you just couldn't break the habit, new statistics reveal. Though transactions were down last year, they didn't dip as much as expected. And the agency still received a 42 percent boost in revenues, data shows. The percentage of decline for passenger vehicles was only 4 percent, dipping from 682 million transactions for the first 11 months of 2011 to 655 million in 2012.
