The Nexpress® Toll Pass is an electronic toll collection system specifically designed for the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, which connects Detroit, Michigan, to Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This system allows for seamless and efficient toll payments when crossing this international border.
Key Features of Nexpress®:
– Exclusive Usage: Nexpress® is exclusively accepted at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and is not valid on other toll roads, bridges, or tunnels in Michigan or other states.
– Prepaid Account: Users can set up a prepaid account linked to a windshield sticker on their vehicle, enabling automatic toll deductions upon crossing.
– Discounted Rates: Nexpress® users often benefit from discounted toll rates compared to standard payment methods.
Alternative Toll Passes in Michigan:
For travel on other toll facilities within Michigan or across multiple states, different toll passes are required:
– Mackinac Bridge: The Mackinac Bridge Authority offers the MacPass for frequent travelers across the Mackinac Bridge, connecting Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
– Blue Water Bridge: The Blue Water Bridge, linking Port Huron, Michigan, to Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, accepts various payment methods, including credit cards and prepaid accounts specific to the bridge.
– Ambassador Bridge: Connecting Detroit, Michigan, to Windsor, Ontario, Canada, the Ambassador Bridge has its own toll collection system and does not accept Nexpress®.
Interstate Travel Considerations:
For travelers planning to use toll roads across multiple states, it’s important to note that toll pass interoperability varies:
– E-ZPass: Widely accepted across numerous states, primarily in the eastern U.S., but not universally compatible with all toll facilities in Michigan.
– Uni Toll Pass: Offers interoperability across 19 states, including Florida and those in the E-ZPass network, but its acceptance in Michigan is limited.
In summary, the Nexpress® Toll Pass is specifically designed for the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel and is not applicable to other toll facilities within Michigan or other states. Travelers should obtain the appropriate toll pass for each specific toll facility they plan to use.
