E-ZPass Saves Time and Money

E-ZPass is the most convenient and cost-effective way to travel New York toll roads, bridges and tunnels. E-ZPass is accepted along the entire 570-mile Thruway system and at cashless tolling locations statewide.

E-ZPass customers enjoy a five percent discount on Thruway tolls, and can choose from a variety of additional discount plans and payment options available to fit the needs of every motorist.

 

Passenger Vehicles

A Passenger Vehicle account allows individuals to get up to a maximum of four tags for passenger vehicles only.  If you want to use a dedicated E-ZPass lane when towing a trailer, camper or boat you can now get a special towing E-ZPass tag.
