Massachusetts will send you up to 4 transponders for free and there's no monthly fee, just a minimum balance. I'm an Ohio resident but there was no way I was spending $44 for the first year just to give them money, when I found out I could get it for free with no ongoing cost from MA I jumped all over it. It saves me money in several states including Ohio and in many states saves time because you can cruise by at 60-70MPH instead of stopping and standing in line (why hasn't Ohio added the quick lanes yet, stupid turnpike commission).
