E-Pass is an alternative to SunPass and works only in the FL/GA area.

E-ZPass is the device that works in the northeast (MD, DE, PA, NJ, NY, etc)
Ahh good point. Maybe this one would be better (below Miami Herald article).

Either way, I'm a big fan of the UniPass.. When you see the map of tollroads covered by UniPass and notice that Connecticut, Vermont, Tennessee, Alabama, and Mississippi, and South Carolina are excluded, keep in mind that neither Tennessee, Mississippi, nor Connecticut have toll roads, and Alabama has no toll roads, but it does have four (4) toll bridges.

South Carolina has only one, The 17.7 mile Southern Connector (Interstate 185) in Greenville County. Greenville Co is north-west of Columbia, and sits about halfway between Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC. Should you need to use that road, it requires the not-used-anywhere-else Palmetto Pass, according to Wikipedia.

So, with UniPass, on the east coast you are really only screwed out of Vermont. Not a huge loss, I think very few Villagers make their way up to Vermont with any regularity.

UniPass is on Amazon or other various sales outlets for about $15.00. It has suction cups so you can move it from car to car. Just gotta go onto their website and pre-load it with a few bucks. I did $10. There are no monthly account maintenance or minimum usage fees. If you move it from one car to another (including a rental), you gotta just go online or the app and remove one car and add the new one. It only holds one car at a time. I would rather it did two or three (for family use), but they didn't ask me. People rarely do, lol.
