An excellent point, and the exact reason why ANYONE who rides on 2 (or sometimes 3) wheels needs to be a member of AMA.<br /><br />These are the issues that AMA stands for and I'd be willing to bet that motorcyclists will be waived tolls in the future.<br /><br />BTW: It's been my experience, in California and many other states, that motorcycles can use the express (diamond) lanes and are exempt the tolls.
