EZ Pass Fees for VA and Other States

Im not sure how many people here have EZ Passes, but VA plans to start charging $1 a month per transponder. F that noise!

VDOT is accepting public comments until next week on the proposed fee which is set to start in July. Im definitely going to cancel my Virginia EZ Pass just on principle. However the good news for everyone is that you can get an EZ Pass from other states and use it in yours without issue.

The wiki shows a chart of fees by states. It appears Massachusetts has the best pricing.

People from other states may also benefit by changing where they get their EZ Pass from. MD actually seems to have a pretty good deal if you use your pass in MD.

Just a FYI.

For a dollar a month I would gladly take the left hand lanes:

yeah seriously ^^

I like the EZ Pass system its very convenient. But its convenient for VDOT too. Its a win win for both of us as it stands now. So to me it just seems like gouging. I just see no reason to give them a dollar when Massachusetts is happy to give me a tag for free.

Might better get used to it, or move to MA

In fact, 14 out of the 24 agencies in the E-ZPass network charge an administrative fee.

Probably won't be long til all are on board.

My boss will be getting one when HOV on 95 turns into HOT lanes, we ride HOV every day from Woodbridge to Alexandria. Kinda sucks because once HOV turns to HOT lanes, there will be a lot more traffic on there due to single drivers paying to use the HOV lanes. But I'm sure it will be greatly beneficial to those who would rather pay more than sit in regular rush hour traffic.

Ah really??? No. I thought EZ Pass meant you got through faster and you didn't pay tolls.

Next you are going to tell me I need a car to drive through the lane.

It's true, you DO need a car to get through the lane. ;)

FAWK! I thought for a buck I got unlimited tolls, open lanes and a car. Sh*t now I am pissed!
