That's the way they market it here in central VA. They want you to link a cc to the account and it will top it off when the account balance gets down to $10. Ok I checked the smart tag site in VA. If you sign up for the automatic replenishment, then they waive the transsponder deposit.

You can use your E-ZPass on all toll roads with specially marked "E-ZPass" lanes. This currently includes roads in Virginia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.



I wish they'd add Florida
