What is E-ZPassÂ® and how does it work? E-ZPassÂ® is an electronic toll collection system, which takes cash, coins and toll tickets out of the toll collection process. Instead, drivers establish an account, prepay tolls and attach a small electronic device to their vehicles. Tolls are automatically deducted from the prepaid account as an E-ZPassÂ® customer passes through the toll lane.
How does E-ZPassÂ® work? As your vehicle enters the toll lane, the toll tag (1) that is mounted on your vehicle's windshield is read by the antennae (2). As your vehicle passes through, your E-ZPassÂ® account is charged the proper amount. Feedback is provided to you on an electronic display (3). If your vehicle does not have a toll tag, the system classifies you as a violator and cameras take photos of your license plate for processing.
