Driving in the greater Orlando area is about to get a whole lot “E-Zier” for 35 million E-ZPass users. The Central Florida Expressway Authority and the E-ZPass Group have FINALLY come to an agreement and effective September 1, 2018, motorists who have an E-ZPass transponder will be able to use it for nearly all toll roads in Central Florida!

For years I marveled at the technology of E-ZPass, that allowed me to avoid handing currency or tossing coins as I passed through tolls.
On some bridges, NYC has recently replaced the old sensors with high-tech cameras that tell computers to debit accounts based on pix of license plates.
I just got a bill for $17 for a round trip across the RFK Bridge from the Bronx to Queens (I remember when it was called the Triboro Bridge and the cost was half a buck for a round trip). I was also charged TWO HUNDRED BUCKS for having a low balance.
Tomorrow morning I will call the E-Z people and will tell the first person I speak to to sue me and drop dead.
Wow, that’s pretty awful. I have my own stories about the pros and cons of E-ZPass, since my family and I lived in the Tri-State area until late 2000. But for those who still have and use E-ZPass, I’m glad they’ll be able to use them for some of the tolls in Central Florida.
Beware: if you have an old EZPass, the battery may have died. Make sure it actually works (with an account attached to it) before you get charged big bucks.
Excellent point 😉
