The different states and agencies in the EZPass consortium have somewhat different fee structures so it's worth checking a few out for the best deal: things like initial charges, monthly fees, etc.
Paying by cash or by mail is certianly doable. Paying by credit/debit card rather than cash on roads that are not toll by mail is not always an available option.
