Peach Pass And E-ZPass Become Interoperable In Ten More States

Georgia drivers now can use their Peach Pass accounts and transponders for prepaid E-ZPass tolling in 10 additional states, the State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) announced. This is the second time in less than three months that the systems have expanded their partnership. Peach Pass and E-ZPass are now interoperable in 18 states — Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Minnesota and Delaware. Since the expansion is reciprocal, E-ZPass holders from the 18 states can also now use their transponders when traveling on Georgia’s express lanes. Peach Pass Peach was already interoperable with Florida’s SunPass, E-PASS and LeeWay systems, and North Carolina’s QuickPass.
