FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Conduent Transportation, a business unit of digital interactions company Conduent Incorporated (NYSE: CNDT), will continue to help ease travel across Los Angeles County by modernizing the tolling system on ExpressLanes with the latest in automated technologies. The upgrades will save drivers time via reduced congestion, while also improving safety on both the I-10 and I-110 corridors.
