From the Indiana Toll Road:

Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 11:52:31 -0500
From: "Puro, Mike" <mpuro@...>
To: "'johnb@...'" <johnb@...>
Cc: "PARRISH, CHARLENE" <CPARRISH@...>
Subject: RE: Indiana Toll Road

The Indiana Toll Road is working toward implementing Electronic Toll
Collection and in particular the E-ZPass program. We will not, however,
be able to implement in 2004. Once a fairly certain time frame for
implementation is established there will be media releases.
