When in Mass this May I could not find any way to discover what the fees were. I stopped at a rest area and asked the turnpike staff & they had no fees posted nor did they have any handouts with them. The bill did come in the mail later and it wasn't bad, but I like to know in advance before I incur a liability.
I found an alternate route across Ohio after they changed the way they rate vehicles. Before on weight I was class 1 like cars, now on height I'm a class 2, much higher fees.
I do not drive enough on toll roads to justify EZ Pass.
Mass will send you up to 4 transponders for free and there is no monthly fee as long as you have a credit or debit card linked to your account. They will automatically refill it with $20 whenever you go under the minimum amount, but just not having to stop for tolls in most areas is worth the infinitesimally small amount of interest I might earn on that $20.
P.S. I can't believe that SunPass and EzPass still haven't figured out how to do proper billing between themseleves despite a federal law that required it by October of 2016, it's not hard to do they just don't want to and as long as the fed isn't withholding road funds there's no teeth behind the law.
