RITBA increases price of toll without E-ZPass

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE)- The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) reminded motorists Wednesday that the cost of a mailed toll invoice has increased.

If a vehicle is not equipped with a valid transponder, the owner will receive a toll invoice for $3 per axel, $6 for a passenger vehicle.

According to RITBA Executive Director Lori Caron Silveira, “more than 85% of our customers now use E-ZPass to pay their tolls.  We encourage all Rhode Island motorists to sign up for E-ZPass and get the benefit of the discounted rates.”
