TIP! Your E-Z Pass transponder will text you, like a good pal

Take that, yellow LOW BAL light of shame.

Earlier this week, E-Z Pass caused spit-takes around the city by announcing a breakthrough. 

TEXT. NOTIFICATIONS.

CLEAN UP THE COFFEE FROM YOUR KEYBOARD.

I KNOW.

I KNOWWWWW!

Yes! You will now be texted–if you choose to accept–when your balance is low, you’re out of funds, or there’s something wrong with your payment information. This is a wonderful thing, because I don’t know if you’ve been stuck at a tollbooth while people pile up impatiently behind you, and you gesture helplessly to the tollbooth attendant, who rolls her eyes at you and sighs a bunch as she brings you that form to fill out. It’s not fun. Particularly if I’m in line behind you, because then you will hear a stream of verbal abuse flowing from my open window, and nobody wants that.

Call 1.877.762.7824 to sign up OR hit up your online account.
