How do I maintain my Discount Program membership?

Can I have more than one E-ZPass in my Discount Program account?

Yes, membership fees are charged per E-ZPass enrolled in the Discount Program.

What if I move or get a new car?

Please notify both the E-ZPass Customer Service Center and the Chesapeake Expressway. Both your E-ZPass Account and Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program will need to be updated.

Note: Member agrees to use his E-ZPass transponder only on a vehicle with the number of axles identified on the application form. If the transponder is used on a vehicle with a higher number of axles than listed on the application, the Member will be charged the full non-discounted toll for the axle count recorded.

As a Discount Program member, what if my E-ZPass is replaced or I wish to add another E-ZPass?

You must enroll the new E-ZPass in the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program.
