New York Toll Options

State Department of Motor Autos officials say sales happen to be strong in the past year of offering E-ZPass tags in DMV offices.

“We are continuously searching for Ezpass System methods to enhance the consumer service we give, and I’m glad that numerous New Yorkers discovered this to be a valuable option at their regional DMV offices,” mentioned DMV Executive Deputy Commissioner Terri Egan. “As the summer travel season gets closer, I encourage our clients to reap the benefits of this service. Having E-ZPass makes it a lot easier and more handy for travelers working with our roads, specially as cashless tolling becomes more prevalent.”

In April 2017, DMV began selling E-ZPass tags in all 27 state-operated DMV offices. Inside the very first year, 34,807 E-ZPass tags were sold at these locations. The DMV’s Coney Island workplace sold the most transponders with 5,363 in a single year. The Bronx workplace had the second highest sales, promoting 2,983 transponders.

As a part of the transition to cashless tolling, the New York State Thruway Authority and Metropolitan Transportation Authority are encouraging all motorists to sign up for E-ZPass NY and save on tolls across the state, such as a five percent discount along the whole 570-mile state Thruway.
