Agreed, it's shady or at least questionable why a singular private entity has been handed a monopoly position blessed by the government to exchange money for line cutting at every major airport.

How did this contract come to exist? How does this further the interest of taxpayers?

You can usually avoid paying the toll if you carpool or drive a motorcycle or just don't take that highway during peak hours. There's almost always public transit along an express lane so you could take that too. It unreasonable and inefficient to allow single-occupancy vehicles to use all lanes of traffic at all times on busy roads.

EZ Pass is a cooperative partnership between all of the participating toll agencies, not a private corporation.
