Commuter pass plan. first 30 miles I think it is, is free. 87$ a year… one tag one car cant transfer this one to other cars. I go from amsterday exit to 24 and back each day… free each time. I bet you could go your 30 miles exit, and get back on and leap frog your way to buffalo if you wanted lol. The technology in the ezpass systems will read the tag up to 55 mph or so. But becasue of this there would be toll plaza attendants splattered all over peoples windshields, so we are stuck at 20mph max. They should just wise up, put the high speed ezpass lanes all the way to one end and put up walls on each side. problem solved. ---

I have the ability to register 2 cars on my EZ PASS… I dident realize this, and for awhile I had only my 300ZX on it… and for 2 months i was using that, I just switched my g20 onto it, im suprised i never got a ticket? a lot of people think that the tag has to be visible too, which isnt true, i used to keep my EZ Pass in my center console on my Z because i lost the sticky things… and it read it fine everytime ---

I used to take my parents ezpass tag and so did my brother when he went to/still goes to seina. My car and my brothers truck or our winter car’s plates are not attached to my parents e-zpass at all. I used to take it and use it with my GF’s saab too. The reason you put your license plate under an ezpass tag is so that if you dont have the ezpass tag, you can still go through the lane, it looks at your plate and deducts the toll from the account. You also dont need to have the tag up on the windshield by the mirror. I allway hold mine. I make sure it is facing the right way and is right side up…but it still works if I hold it up high and proud by my rear view… or just hold it in my hand on the steering wheel. Next week, I will see how it works “out of site”, each day I will go a little farter from the window and see what it does. lol BUT the commuter pass plan specificly states it is for ONE vehicle only, the others dont. ---
