It's on the news now.

35 bucks an hour for a 50 week job, probably a little better with vacation etc.
However, it is a patronage job as I understand it.
If you were out traveling on the Pike this weekend past, there was a lot of traffic and alot of it was parked at toll booths if you didnt have a transponder.

Getting a transponder was on of the best commuting decisions I ever made. In some instances, it has cut up to 15 minutes off when I have to drive to Springfield from Mansfield, driving to Springfield from Boston saves almost a half hour sometimes.

Nothing was more upsetting to me than sitting in those long lines at the toll and watching people, one after the other, drive right past me.
