E-ZPass Transponders To Be Sold As Scheduled

While the Rhode Island House voted to approve an amendment postponing tolls Wednesday, Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority Chairman David Darlington says E-ZPass transponders will go on sale in Portsmouth starting Friday. 

"We're going to carry on," Darlington said. "There are a lot of people, who are buying the transponders, that say they want them regardless of tolls on the Sakonnet River Bridge." 

The E-ZPass transponders will go on sale for the first time Friday in Portsmouth, but they will also continue to be made available in Tiverton, too.

For a limited time, the Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority (RITBA) will discount the cost of its E-ZPass transponders from its usual price of $20.95 to just $10. In addition, RITBA will give a $10 credit to the new E-ZPass account to be applied to future toll expenses.

During the promotional period, RITBA will add additional locations where people can apply for the transponders.  They include Bristol, Middletown, Tiverton, and Roger Williams University at the former Ramada Inn. Applications are also available at RITBA headquarters. 

Full details about the promotion, dates, hours and locations can be found at www.ritba.org
