I used EZ-Pass for many years in PA, NJ, and NY. I got it after friends driving north from Washington on a holiday weekend on I-95 got stuck in a toll booth line in Delaware for two hours. Now we zip past those areas at 65mph or faster. These are the good old days! When I moved to The Villages a year ago, I discovered that there was a section on the road between here and Orlando that used only SunPass and another section that accepted EZ-Pass. The SunPass web site said that EZ-Pass would be working with all SunPass roads by the end of 2020, but in April that hadn’t yet happened. So I got a SunPass transponder rather than receive a photo of my car and a bill every time I drove to the airport. It came in a little silvery envelope that blocks signals so it can’t be activated at toll plazas. Now I keep SunPass on my car all the time in Florida unless I’m driving North and leaving the state. I keep the EZ-Pass in the signal-blocking envelope in my glove box. I put it EZ-Pass on the windshield and take down the SunPass if I’m entering the rest of America.
