E-Z pass

[southjerseycraig]

I notice that some new cars have a black area on the windshield in the area of the rear view mirror and I'm told the 2010 Prius does too. Where should I place my E-Z pass transmitter? Does it have to be outside the black area? If so, where should I put it? thanks.

I have mine (while inside the car) directly to the right of where the mirror wires are on the windshield, right on top of the black dots and up as high as it can do so the transmitter rubs the roof. Works fine all over NY and NJ with no trouble.

I have my GREEN PASS just below the black on the windshield.. and it is out of view..

Make sure to get your green pass, if you have not done so already.

I keep mine in the top clam shell of the glove box. Works well and is out of sight.

TRAVEL OFF-PEAK IN A LOW-EMISSION VEHICLE WITH THE NEW Green Pass AND SAVE
The Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan rewards drivers using low-emissions vehicles with a substantial discount. Drivers with qualifying vehicles who register for the Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan will receive a green E-ZPass tag and be charged a specially discounted toll during off-peak hours.

• Green Pass customers are charged a $4 toll during off-peak hours.
• There is no discount for driving during peak hours.
• To enroll in the Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan, call 1-800-333-8655 (New York Service Center). Be sure to have your account number or tag number and PIN for account access.
• The Port Authority Green Pass discount only applies to Port Authority bridges and tunnels, though your Green Pass can be used at any crossing or road that accepts E-ZPass as a form of toll payment.
• Vehicles that qualify for Green Pass are certified to the California Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard and achieve a United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more, or are pre-model year 2005 hybrid vehicles which are certified to the California Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standard and achieve a USEPA highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey

New York State Thruway Authority: E-ZPass : Green Pass Discount Plan

Q: What is the new PA Green Pass discount?

A: The new PA Green Pass Discount Plan offers a special $4.00 toll rate to vehicles certified to the California Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard and achieve a United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more, and pre-model year 2005 hybrid vehicles which are certified to the California Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standard and achieve a USEPA highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more. Currently eligible vehicles are:

• Honda Insight (2000 to 2004 models)
• Honda Civic Hybrid (2003 to 2009 models)
• Toyota Prius (2001 to 2009 models)

9. Q: Is the Port Authority Green Pass valid everywhere E-ZPass is accepted?
A: The Port Authority Green Pass is an E-ZPass that may be used at any crossing or road that accepts E-ZPass as a form of toll payment. However, unlike the white "regular" E-ZPass tag, Port Authority Green Pass users pay only $4 when they use their tag at Port Authority crossings during off-peak hours. The Port Authority Green Pass is accepted at all crossings and roads that accept E-ZPass, however, the Port Authority Green Pass discount only applies to Port Authority crossings.
10. Q: How do I sign up for the new PA Green Pass Discount Plan? A: Port Authority E-ZPass account holders who drive qualifying vehicles can request that the Green Pass Discount Plan be added to their account. Customers must submit a copy of their motor vehicle registration for the qualifying vehicle. After confirming the vehicle’s eligibility, the E-ZPass NY Customer Service Center will issue a green-colored E-ZPass tag for use only in the qualifying vehicle. The Port Authority will begin accepting requests for the Green Pass Discount plan on March 2, 2008. To request the Green Pass Discount, please send a letter and include a copy of the registration to the E-ZPass New York Customer Service Center, P.O. Box 149001, Staten Island, New York 10314-9001 or visit a walk-in center to supply the needed information. Please note that tags will not be issued on the spot, as verification of vehicle eligibility is required.

sorry! I knew there had been a recent thread, but I couldn't find it out when I looked for it this morning. I figured a bunch of threads would show up when I typed E-Z pass, but I didn't see anything from this year. I'll try to use search more in the future; please remind me how to do that.
