E-ZPass IAG

What E-ZPass IAG does

E-ZPass InterAgency Group (E-ZPass IAG) is a membership-based consortium of 40+ toll agencies, bridge commissions, turnpike authorities, and state departments of transportation that collectively operate the E-ZPass electronic toll collection program across 20 U.S. states. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, the organization functions as the interoperability and standards body for the E-ZPass network rather than as a direct toll collector — IAG itself does not hold customer accounts or process toll payments, which are handled by individual member agencies.

The core technology is a transponder-based electronic toll collection (ETC) system using wireless automatic vehicle identification. Over 64 million E-ZPass transponders are in circulation, communicating with reader infrastructure at toll plazas, bridges, tunnels, and express lanes operated by member agencies. IAG maintains the interoperability framework — file specifications, test plans, approved equipment lists, and an IAG Portal — that allows a single transponder to function seamlessly across all member jurisdictions. Product extensions include E-ZPass Plus (premium features) and E-ZPass Flex (a switchable transponder for HOV/carpool lane eligibility).

Commercially, E-ZPass IAG operates as a non-direct-revenue consortium. Member agencies independently set transponder pricing and account fees and collect tolls directly from end users (individual drivers and commercial fleet operators). IAG's role is coordination, standards-setting, and interoperability infrastructure. End-customer marketing, transponder fulfillment, and account servicing are conducted through member agencies' customer service centers and websites. E-ZPass, E-ZPass Plus, and E-ZPass Flex are registered trademarks of the consortium.
