E-ZPass is an electronic toll collection system that allows drivers to pay tolls without stopping at toll booths. It operates through a transponder placed on the vehicle’s windshield, which communicates with tolling equipment to deduct tolls from a prepaid account as the vehicle passes through toll lanes.
The E-ZPass system is utilized across 20 U.S. states, primarily in the eastern and northeastern regions. These states include Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Minnesota.
Be cautious of fraudulent communications claiming to be from E-ZPass or related toll agencies. Scammers may send messages about unpaid tolls to trick recipients into providing personal or financial information. It’s advisable to verify any such claims directly through official channels.
