MTA trying to boost "Fastlane"


(NECN) - The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority is trying to boost usage of its "Fastlane" program.

The Boston Globe reports that the authority will launch a pilot program giving out five-thousand free transponders to drivers who fill out a survey explaining why they don't have one.

The turnpike authority hasn't said when the program will start.

Transponders typically cost just less than $26.

Last week, the pike announced it was considering massive toll hikes.
