If you had paid any attention when you just drove over the bridge, you might have noticed that you can indeed pay in cash or card at the furthest toll booth on the right. You might have also noticed that the RI Turnpike and Bridge Authority is who runs the tolling. EZ Pass is the company that makes the system for tolling. It’s free. You just need to link a checking account to it. Tolls also cost less, so your free EZ pass gets you a discount everywhere.
Your late fees are not unreasonable. The longer you take to pay them the more it costs you. This is an incentive to get you to pay your bill on time.
Sorry you aren’t getting the kind of response you expected when coming here to complain..?

Sorry, This hasn't been true since October 2021. Edit: corrected date.

Good thing I’ve got an EZPass then.

Last time I went over the bridge a few weeks ago they still did it. Either way, you want to get in touch with RIBTA, not EZPass per say.
