Do I need a transponder/toll tag for NextPass for NextPass to work?

No. That’s the beauty of tolling with NextPass! You do not need a transponder or toll tag for NextPass to work. NextPass operates differently from traditional toll payment systems that require physical transponders. Instead, it relies on your vehicle’s license plate for toll processing.

How NextPass Works:

1. License plate recognition: When you register with NextPass, you simply enter your vehicle’s license plate number and state. The tolling agency will take a picture of your license plate as you drive through toll roads.
2. Automatic payment: Once your vehicle is registered and active in the NextPass system, toll charges are automatically processed and billed to your account without the need for any physical equipment.
3. No equipment required: This means you can enjoy cashless toll payments without worrying about maintaining a transponder or dealing with prepayments and monthly fees.
4. Remove existing toll tags/transponders: If you have a transponder or toll tag from another agency (like E-ZPass or SunPass), it is essential to remove it from your vehicle before using NextPass to avoid potential billing conflicts.

NextPass provides a convenient and efficient way to manage toll payments while keeping the driving experience seamless and hassle-free.
