E-ZPass MA Account
E-ZPass MA is the easiest option for Massachusetts drivers to pay their tolls. You are charged tolls through a transponder, a small electronic device that attaches to your windshield.
When you open an E-ZPass MA account, your transponder is provided free. Your E-ZPass MA transponder provides discounted tolls on MA roadways. This transponder will also be accepted in all other states that accept E-ZPass.
If you choose to open an E-ZPass MA account, you will need to make an initial payment to establish an account balance. As you travel through tolls, they deduct from your account balance. Once your balance is too low, your account will replenish using your assigned payment choice.
When you log-in to your E-ZPass account, you will be able to manage this balance automatically or manually and see past toll charges, including updating your payment information.

E-ZPass Out of State
EZDriveMA accepts all E-ZPass transponders issued by out of state E-ZPass toll agencies. You can view a map of where E-ZPass is accepted nationwide.
Out of state E-ZPass accounts do not provide toll discounts on MA roadways. If you have an E-ZPass account with another state, you will be billed through your E-ZPass state agency.
If you live or drive in a state other than Massachusetts, consider opening your E-ZPass account in that state. This will allow you to take advantage of discounts they may offer.
Pay By Plate MA Registered Account
A Pay by Plate MA registered account allows you to pay your tolls through your vehicle's license plate number. A Pay By Plate MA account is only valid for toll payment on Massachusetts roadways, and does not provide discounts like E-ZPass MA.
Pay By Plate MA Registered offers two different payment options. When opening an account, you will be selecting between a Pre-paid and Post-paid account.
Prepaid accounts allow you to pay tolls when you assign a bank, credit or debit card and make a small deposit. Toll payments are then made from your account balance. Once your balance is too low, your account will replenish using your assigned payment choice. Log in to your account to view your monthly charges.
Postpaid accounts also require a bank, credit, or debit card on your account. With a postpaid account, you will be billed for your toll usage every 30 days.
Your account will be automatically charged for your toll usage through your assigned choice at the end of your 30-day cycle.
