What Transponders are Used in Ohio

Ohio primarily uses E-ZPass transponders for electronic toll collection. These transponders are widely accepted on the Ohio Turnpike and many other toll roads across the United States. E-ZPass allows drivers to pass through toll plazas without stopping, as tolls are automatically deducted from a linked prepaid account.

Key Details About E-ZPass in Ohio:

1. Compatibility:

– E-ZPass is part of an interstate network and works in over 19 states, including nearby states like Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Illinois.

2. Cost:

– In Ohio, there’s a monthly fee of $0.75 for using the E-ZPass transponder.

– A minimum account balance of $25 is required for setup and auto-replenishment.

3. Purchasing an E-ZPass:

– E-ZPass transponders can be ordered online through the Ohio Turnpike website, purchased at service plazas along the Turnpike, or from select retail locations.

4. Usage on Other Roads:

– Ohio does not have a widespread toll system beyond the Turnpike, so E-ZPass is mostly used for trips on the Turnpike or when traveling to other states with toll roads.
