RITBA reminds motorists of increased cost of toll without E-ZPass

The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) today reminded motorists that the cost of a mailed toll invoice increases today, December 1, 2021.

With all-electronic tolling at the Claiborne Pell Bridge, tolls collected through RITBA-issued E-ZPass transponders are charged at the published discounted rates. If a vehicle is not equipped with a valid transponder, the owner will receive a toll invoice in the mail for $3.00 per axle (i.e. $6.00 for a passenger vehicle) as of today.

RITBA has seen an increase in new E-ZPass accounts in the months leading up to the transition to all-electronic tolling.  According to RITBA Executive Director Lori Caron Silveira, “more than 85% of our customers now use E-ZPass to pay their tolls.  We encourage all Rhode Island motorists to sign up for E-ZPass and get the benefit of the discounted rates.”
