Electronic payment using a mobile device having a wireless data connection to a public mobile network. A location-specific low-energy beacon periodically broadcasts a beacon signal containing a unique location identifier. The mobile device receives the beacon signal and reports the location identifier to a remote server. The remote server identifies an associated vehicle based on identification data and an association with the vehicle. If a payment transaction is required, then an amount is determined based on the location identifier and a toll payment is processed using payment information linked to the mobile device or its user. The beacon signal may be a Bluetooth LE .TM. signal.
