Sirit announced that it has been selected for the upgrade of an in-lane toll collection system on the 91 express lanes in Orange County California.

To ensure the free flow of traffic, customers of the express lane pay tolls from pre-paid accounts using the RFID-enabled FasTrak transponder device mounted to their vehicle’s windshield.

The project, valued at approximately $1.8 million, is expected to be complete later this year. [end]
