Make Good After a Bad Toll Trip on I-495

Took the Express Lane without EZPass? Here's how to fix it.

The Interstate 495 Express Lanes are good for a quick commute, but it's bad news if you aren't set up with an E-ZPass. 

495 Express Lanes has provided the attached graphic for quick tips on getting out of trouble for an unpaid trip. It also includes an explanation on the penalties.

To make sure your trip on the express lane is logged properly: 

  1. Make sure you have an E-ZPass before you use the Express Lanes 
  2. Make sure your E-ZPass is correctly mounted in the car
  3. Make sure your E-ZPass account is linked to your license plate 
  4. Make sure your E-ZPass account is in good standing with sufficient funds in your account
  5. Consider setting your account up with auto replenishment to avoid having to remember your balance
If you take the express lane unpaid, jump on Missed a Toll? within 5 days.
