Bluebird Introduces Toll Violations Processing
|
DOVER, NJ (January 12, 2005) - Bluebird Auto Rental Systems,
in partnership with the Highway Toll Administration, LLC, is now supporting the
ability to process toll violations issued by the E-ZPass electronic toll collection
system.
Rental agencies located within the E-ZPass system - currently New
York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia, and soon Illinois, New Hampshire and Maine - can now utilize the services
of the HTA to eliminate the toll violations incurred by their customers. In some
cases, one agency location may have thousands of such violations per month.
"The HTA provides a free service that removes the rental agency
from the equation, and generates immediate revenue for agencies who sign up for
this innovative new service," said David Centner, president of the Highway
Toll Administration.
The overwhelming success and popularity of the E-ZPass system has
inadvertently created an overhead burden for agencies within the E-ZPass footprint.
When rental customers run an E-ZPass toll, a series of events are triggered ultimately
requiring the agency to process each violation, print rental agreements, and attempt
to collect directly from customers. Some agencies have dedicated personnel specifically
for processing toll violations.
"This partnership with HTA continues Bluebird's focus on
supporting the real, day-to-day issues most important to our customers," said
Angela Margolit, president of Bluebird.
