It's the 470. Their pass is called "EXpressToll" and doesn't appear to offer
a discount, just convenience. I just hit the calculator on their web site,
and it tells me $23.25 for a one-way trip around the city with the trailer.
That's just a little steep. That's an entire day of camping, or two and a
half trips across the entire state of Ohio. It might be worthwhile waiting
through downtown traffic, or even getting off the highway and driving surface
routes for a while.
