EzPass and Tolltags are a great idea but are not implemented the same in every state.

In Texas, you are billed $40 and then can take your time using it. In many states, you are billed a monthly usage fee if you use it or not. This is a really bad idea.

In Denver they bill $35 or fractions thereof to keep your account around $35 in credits and you can take your time using it. No monthly fees.

Let me add one thing to this. You also have to select "electronic billing" when you sign up or they charge you $1.50 per month to mail you a bill. Other than that one glitch, I have had no trouble with the Texas Toll Tag system.

Even before I bought the toll tag, I would just get a bill at the end of the month indicating how much I owed. I never received any bill that I couldn't verify, so I'm pretty sure their system works well. And I sure prefer paying for using the roads as I use them rather than paying for someone else's roads all the time.
