How does E-ZPass work?
When you open a prepaid account, you receive a small electronic transponder that attaches to the windshield inside your car or to your license plate. Within the transponder is a battery-powered electronic chip encoded with a unique identification code. When you travel through an E-ZPass toll facility, an antenna at the toll plaza reads the information contained in your transponder. The appropriate toll is electronically debited from your prepaid E-ZPass account.
