How does E-ZPass Virginia work?

E-ZPass Virginia is an electronic toll collection system that allows drivers to pay tolls conveniently and efficiently. It works by utilizing a small electronic transponder, which is installed in a vehicle's windshield and linked to a prepaid account. As the vehicle passes through a toll plaza, the system automatically deducts the toll amount from the account balance. The transponder communicates with the toll plaza's equipment wirelessly, enabling seamless and quick transactions without the need to stop. E-ZPass Virginia works on all toll roads, bridges, and tunnels within the state, as well as in other participating E-ZPass states. It saves drivers time and reduces traffic congestion by eliminating the need to search for loose change or wait in long cash payment lines.
