Whats EZ Pass Toll Rates Per State

E-ZPass toll rates vary by state, as each state sets its own rates for different toll roads, bridges, and tunnels. Here’s a general overview of how rates are determined and where you can find specific rates:

1. By Distance Traveled

– Pennsylvania Turnpike: Charges by the mile with higher rates for vehicles with more axles.

– New York Thruway: Charges by distance; tolls vary depending on the entry and exit points.

2. Fixed-Rate Tolls

– Bridges and Tunnels (e.g., NYC bridges, Delaware Memorial Bridge, Chesapeake Bay Bridge): Have fixed rates that may vary by vehicle type.

– Flat Rate Highways: Some roads, like the Garden State Parkway in New Jersey, have specific toll points with fixed rates.

3. Dynamic/Peak Pricing

– Virginia Express Lanes and Maryland’s I-95 Express Lanes: Rates change based on traffic conditions.

4. Discounts for E-ZPass Holders

– Many states, like New Jersey and New York, offer discounts to E-ZPass holders. For example:

– New Jersey: Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike offer reduced rates for NJ E-ZPass users.

– New York: Many NYC bridges and tunnels offer lower rates for NY E-ZPass holders.

5. Regional Variations

– Midwestern States (e.g., Illinois, Indiana): Generally charge lower tolls, especially for E-ZPass users, compared to the Northeast.

– Southern States (e.g., Florida, North Carolina): Some toll roads only offer electronic tolling, and E-ZPass is partially interoperable in areas like Florida.

6. Truck and Multi-Axle Vehicles

– Heavier or multi-axle vehicles pay higher rates in all states, often depending on weight and distance traveled.
