E-ZPass Electronic Toll Collection at the Peace Bridge
What is E-ZPass?
E-ZPass is an electronic toll collection technology that makes traveling more convenient, helps reduce traffic congestion, and saves you money at the Peace Bridge and on the New York State Thruway system.
At the Peace Bridge, E-ZPass is half the cost of the cash/debit/credit rate. On the Thruway, including the Grand Island bridges, the cash rate is 30% higher than E-ZPass plus there is a $2.00(USD) administrative surcharge and hefty late payment fees.
With E-ZPass, account information on an electronic tag installed in your car is read by a receiving antenna in the toll lane and the toll is electronically deducted from your prepaid toll account.
What are the benefits?
1.) Much cheaper.
2.) Makes traveling more convenient.
3.) Helps reduce traffic congestion.
4.) Helps reduce fuel consumption.
5.) Dedicated toll lanes for E-ZPass members only.
