New toll rates will be in effect at MTA Bridges and Tunnels beginning April 11, 2021. New E-ZPass mid-tier toll rate for improper tag mounting also goes into effect.

https://new.mta.info/document/32591


It seems to only apply to nyezpass, is that true? Does NJ already have such a rule in place that i just dont know about?

Good luck getting a credit when a properly mounted tag is not read due to a technical issue. Wait times are insane.

You can file for a credit on the website. May be faster

why not just put in your license plate info so they can just bill your account when the tag isn't read?

The new rules that go into effect soon state that if they cannot read the tag and use your plates to link your account, you will be charged a higher fee for an improperly mounted tag.

I would say 5/10 times my tags can't be read. Says toll unpaid go.

Do you check online if the transaction is tied to your tag or license plate number? I've had the Toll unpaid message multiple times and when checking my account later I see the transaction tied to my tag. So perhaps that message is not very accurate. If the transaction is tied to the license plate, then effective April 11 the rate will be higher.

I say maybe I go to fast sometimes!  ::)

 It's not perfect.
 I remember going onto the GSP and my tag didn't read so I backed up a bit to try for a 2nd time, but nothing doing. So I took a quarter and threw it in the bin, but still nothing, tried a 2nd quarter and still nothing. After that off I went...

  Those machines have a mind of their own.
 That wouldn't be good should they charge you a surcharge for every time the machine decides to act up.

I definitely hear the reasoning behind this. The computer is working too hard, way to hard to match up a vehicle to it's tags!
 He needs a raise for all it's hard work! So surcharge time! Not enough they charge you for all the he bridges and tolls, we now need to charge surcharges for unread tags...
   So ezpass will decide when their machines should work and when we need the extra cash and make all machines say error, couldn't read tag mode!

 Welcome to Ezpass 2021!
New and improved!

I'd say that if you're sure the tag is mounted properly then send a written complaint every single time. If a particular machine is malfunctioning you won't be the only one complaining.

As for going too fast - a friend (for real, not me) used to flex about going through ezpass lanes at 60mph and the machine would read his tag.

They'll supposedly suspend your account if you go to fast to many times. They Warn you a few times and then take the tags away.

Yup thats what happened to him. He also got a speeding ticket imputed based on entry/exit times on the Turnpike. Average speed >90 for the trip.

EZPass NJ raised my threshold to $170 for no apparent reason, obviously there is no CS. I am already in the process of using NY EZPass, what happens if i close the account do they write me a check or refund the amount? If so how long does it take?

I know it's a different state, but I recently closed a NY account and I got a refund for my balance about 3-4 weeks after mailing in the account closure form and transponder. To the credit card that was on file.

Is this the EZ pass method?
Reload on a account then close and get refunded to another card on file then cash out. Lol 😆
