you MUST have an EZPass for I-90/Mass Pike as it is now a cashless toll road.
That's not true; while it is a cashless road, if you don't have EZPass they'll invoice based on license plate readers and mail a bill (with a nominal surcharge and probably a higher toll rate). Many of the NYC area bridges work the same way now, too, and probably some other roads and more to come. It's not illegal to drive without EZPass, just inconvenient and sometimes more expensive.
It can be worthwhile to compare the fees and terms and conditions of EZPass from various states and agencies. Some charge monthly fees or up-front transponder fees, and many offer discounts within their service area. If one will be traveling on the NY Thruway much with a motorhome, their motorhome thruway discount plan is particularly attractive as it results in approximately a 50% lower toll (car rate vs. tall vehicle rate) and, if signed up with a credit card to replenish and email or bimonthly paper billing, has no periodic fees.
