EZ-Pass
Automatic toll payment
EZ-Pass is an electronic toll collection system used on highways and bridges in the eastern United States.
A small transponder mounted on a vehicle's windshield communicates with sensors at toll plazas, automatically deducting fees from a prepaid account: I sailed through the toll booth in the EZ-Pass lane.
The name has become somewhat generic for similar systems nationwide.
