I 90 toll road question

Heading East out of Cleveland Ohio on I90 to Buffalo, NY which has tools What is the name of sticker you put on your front window so you don't have to stop and pay a toll?

Thanks to all who reply
  • You need an EZ Pass transponder, from whatever state in the consortium you prefer. One or two states call it something different (Illinois calls their version the i-Pass, I believe), but any EZ Pass transponder will work in any state that's a member of the group.

    Ohio: ezpassoh.com
    New York: e-zpassny.com
    EZ Pass Group: e-zpassiag.com (which does not directly offer transponders, etc. to the public, but has some information and links)

    It may well be worthwhile to compare the fees for various states. Some charge maintenance fees, some do not; some have fees or deposits for transponders; and some offer discounts for in-state tolls or other perks.

    If you'll be traveling along the NY thruway somewhat frequently, I would suggest considering the New York one with the motorhome plan, which charges you car rates rather than motorhome rates (and saves about half the toll costs, at least for the case of one without a toad).
  • Mass Pass is the least expensive. No transponder upcharge. I live in Michigan and have 3 transponders.
