    Ok so I live in FL and recently got the SunPass pro because I can use it in ny and nj where I spent a lot of time and now I get this info 😂. Can I get the mta easy pass even if my info as far as address is a Florida address?

      I got the SunPass Pro at first because of that reasoning too You can get an MTA Easy Pass even though you have a Florida address. I stopped by the Transit Museum in Grand Central Terminal for mine but I know they also sell New York EZ-Passes at AAA Northeast and the New York DMVs. I'm not sure which EZ-Pass gets sent if you order one from www.e-zpassny.com/. If it's the Port Authority EZ-Pass there's a $1 monthly fee, New York State EZ-Passes (MTA & NYS Thruway Authority included) don't charge a monthly fee.

    I live in Manhattan and don’t drive very much anymore. These tolls are a lot. I know that congestion pricing has been put on hold, but I’m guessing that would be in addition to the tolls?? No wonder the whole thing has people losing their minds.

    Wait so there is a separate Port Authority EZ Pass? Where can you get it from? Also what is the difference between the MTA EZ Pass and the NY State Thruway EZ Pass? It doesn't seem like there is any. So why brand them differently?

  • @itsnotme07
    @itsnotme07 6 месяцев назад +2

    EZ Pass doesn't care where you live to get the "local" EZ Pass prices. I live in Texas, but my EZ Pass is based in Massachusetts, where I drive the most with it, usually flying in. I initially had a NJ EZ Pass, but closed it when I saw the $1/mo fee. Haha. No, the EZ Pass does not work in Texas, at least not yet. I have another tag for that.

    • @ActionKidExtra
      @ActionKidExtra  6 месяцев назад +2

      When I drove in Texas, my Florida SunPass Pro didn’t work there. I signed up for a TxTag sticker in advance to pay for my tolls in the Houston area. Those $1/mo fees are sneaky!

  • @PhillyAnchor
    @PhillyAnchor Месяц назад

    EZ Pass is incredibly frustrating and feels like a rip-off. They charge various fees even during the most routine times of the day. Whenever you try to get a refund, they always find a way to blame you, claiming your transponder isn’t mounted correctly, isn’t working, or is the wrong one. It’s enough to make anyone scratch their head in confusion.
    We need to come together and take collective action against the EZ Pass entity!

    • @ActionKidExtra
      @ActionKidExtra  6 месяцев назад +1

      Yup, definitely grab an MTA EZ-Pass from the Transit Museum in Grand Central if that’s the case! Massachusetts EZ-Pass gets charged the full rate for all tolls in the NYC area! At least NY and MA EZ-Passes don’t have any monthly fees.

    @actionkidextra --- Which do I need to get full discounts (without fees) for driving in PA, DE, NJ, NY.

    • @ActionKidExtra
      @ActionKidExtra  6 месяцев назад +1

      Get the EZ-Pass which benefits you the most. Each state should give you discounts for toll facilities when using their own EZ-Pass (some require residency to get the discounts - I know the MTA EZ-Pass for NY doesn’t require residency). PA charges a $3 annual fee, DE charges a $15 initial purchase fee (but not any monthly or annual fees), NJ charges a $1 monthly fee, Port Authority EZ-Pass charges a $1 monthly fee, and NY EZ-Passes don’t charge monthly or annual fees.

    • @ActionKidExtra
      @ActionKidExtra  6 месяцев назад

      I would highly recommend it. Many toll plazas don’t have cash lanes anymore and are going all electronic. Otherwise you’ll be charged the higher toll-by-mail rates with expensive administrative fees.

      EZ-Pass wherever EZ-Pass is accepted, but that doesn’t mean the toll rates are the same for everybody. I know the NY and MA EZ-Passes don’t charge any monthly fees. Florida SunPass Pro (which is interoperable with EZ-Pass) doesn’t have one either.
