If you are using a toll on the list of roads where NextPass is supported, just drive through! Toll booths show a green light when a vehicle with a transponder approaches and the transponder signal is recognized. NextPass is not a transponder (or tag). With NextPass, your license plate will be recognized so you can keep driving even if the light is red.
Please advise that NextPass DOES NOT cover passing through gated toll booths such as toll roads with swing arms or gates aren’t supported.
You can begin using NextPass to pay for tolls 24 hours after you’ve added your license plate number and a valid payment method. Make sure you see the message “Active in 18 states” on your vehicle’s detail page within; this indicates that you’re ready to start using NextPass for toll payments.
No. The technology only needs to see a license plate, so once your plate is registered in the app, the state toll agency uses that to confirm your toll activity.
NextPass applies a 15% processing fee to the toll amount. This includes the pass-through fees from our payment service providers and credit card merchants. For Virginia only, NextPass applies the processing fees charged by the state toll agencies.

2) Set up your NextPass account and complete registration.
