This reminds me of the requirement in the 2012 infrastructure bill that all electronic toll collection systems must be interoperable by 2016. It's 2021, further from the deadline than the deadline itself was from the signing of the legislation, and the only major movement in this regard is that a few more systems have joined EZPass (North Carolina, Florida, and Minnesota), and that North Carolina, Georgia and Florida created their own interoperability set.
