What is the requirement for using toll roads without a transponder?

The requirement to provide vehicle details and communicate to the Emergency Command Center (ECDC) Battalion Chief (BC) when using toll roads without a transponder is rooted in ensuring accountability and proper resource management during emergency responses. This process allows for the coordination of response efforts, as well as the confirmation of vehicle movements on toll roads that are otherwise monitored primarily through transponder systems.

This communication enables the ECDC BC to maintain situational awareness, track the location of emergency vehicles, and ensure that all actions taken during an incident are documented and accounted for. By requiring this information, the system ensures a structured approach to utilizing toll roads, enhancing safety and operational efficiency for all involved in the emergency response.
