GREAT NECK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- November 7, 2006 -- Highway Toll Administration, LLC ("HTA"),
the pioneer and leader in the implementation of electronic toll payment
services for the auto rental industry, is pleased to announce the
achievement of its ten thousandth transponder installed in a rental
vehicle, and anticipates adding 10,000 more installations each month.
Another significant milestone for HTA was achieved at the end of October
which marked HTA's 4-year anniversary. "We are very proud of our
accomplishments, as our intensive research and development efforts
conducted in our first few years have resulted in the best-in-class
technology and service offering to the global auto rental industry," said
David Centner, president of HTA. "We believe that by building applications
that embrace the business requirements, operational needs, and customer
service demands of the rental agencies and parent toll agencies, HTA has
brought significant value to its clients and their customers."
HTA currently provides transponder rental solutions and toll violations
processing services to hundreds of rental locations throughout the United
States, Puerto Rico, and Canada, making HTA the global leader of electronic
toll collection services for rental agencies. In addition, HTA is in the
process of equipping Avis and Budget Rent-A-Car fleets with electronic toll
collection capability. In the coming months, HTA is expected to become the
