E-ZPass transponders are phasing out. The same function can be served by a sticker, for millions of dollars less every year

Massachusetts state transportation officials have confirmed they are transitioning away from traditional hard-case E-ZPass transponders and replacing them with low-cost windshield sticker tags — a move expected to save millions of dollars annually.

  1. And probably increase their sales income since the E-Z Pass was supplied with a 'Velcro' like attachment, basically encouraging you to use one transponder for multiple cars. I expect the new RFID tag sticker will still work if thoughtful customers attach it to a removeable surface rather than directly to the windshield but I wonder how many drivers will think to do this.

    1. lol, I had seen or posted something about that idea of making a way to get your windshield stickers transferrable... I think it was to laminate it, and then elmers glue to stick the laminated item to whatever windshield you wanted it on, and cut it loose easily to move it, or maybe it was use saran wrap across the back. It was years ago, I can't recall
