How to Get an EZ Pass

E-Z Pass is an electronic toll collection system used as an alternative to cash and coins on major highways. In order to use E-Z Pass, drivers must open a prepaid account. E-Z Pass is calculated by attaching a small electronic device to your windshield. Drivers use E-Z Pass for frequent traveling and small discounts on tolls. E-Z Pass is available in many states in the northeastern United States.
