You Now Have a New Place to Buy an E-ZPass

The Rhode Island Turnpike and Bridge Authority's office near the Newport Bridge is now not the only place you can purchase an E-ZPass.

AAA has announced a new pilot program with RITBA, whereby all of its Rhode Island branches will now sell the E-ZPass transponders. They can be purchased for $20.95, plus the initial load amount.

AAA Members will receive a $2 credit towards their toll balance just by signing up for a new E-ZPass account at one of the participating AAA Offices.

Eligible vehicles include those that are two axle, 4-tire individually owned/leased vehicles, 7,000 pounds max gross weight, including pickups and RVs with dual rear tires and motorcycles.

Anyone driving one of the following vehicles must still purchase the E-ZPass at RITBA.

1. Buick Roadmaster – All
2. Cadillac Catera – 99-01
3. Chevrolet Lumina Van – Prior to 2002
4. Chevrolet Venture – Prior to 2002
