Fast Lane tolls are also deductible for state income taxes.

How is that personal tax deduction justified?
YES if one claims vehicle expenses as a business expense, fine.
Are fast lane tolls considered a tax that is deductible, like real estate taxes?
Does the MA toll locations recognize the address of the transponder?
I used to get a 10% discount for "electronic toll collection" in DE, but it was recently eliminated regardless of address. I still have a NY account with no fees, since the days before NH started; I kept it in case NH adds fees or eliminates discount to NH accounts, where I live. Coincidentally, I had not used it in a few years, and yesterday tested it at Hookset - still works; I had not read this thread. I never had the MA account. My brother lives in MA and got his account in MD with no transponder fees.
The Lynch story about implementing EZ pass in NH is a "story".
