(TNS) — An estimated 250 California Bay Area toll collectors won't be coming back to their booths, after the California Department of Transportation on Thursday announced that several bridges would be moving to all-digital toll collection.
Caltrans plans to eliminate the positions at the end of July, according to spokesman Bart Ney.
So far, no toll collectors have been laid off.
