If you are visiting New York and plan to drive, it is highly likely that you will have to pay tolls. As many of the toll facilities in New York are turning to Cashless Tolling[1], you would not be able to pay tolls with cash at most of the toll roads, tunnels or bridges. One option would be to pay tolls later using Toll By Mail. But it can be more expensive. If you wish to avoid receiving costly toll violation fines incurred when you end up using high-speed toll lanes without a toll tag, getting E-ZPass would be a good idea. If you are traveling to New York, you can get E-ZPass® On-the-Go here[2]. Read more about E-ZPass here.
