The E-ZPass New York website crashed on the first workday when New York City 's new congestion pricing toll was in effect. 'The E-ZPass NY website is currently experiencing higher than normal activity,' E-ZPass NY said on its website around 9:45 a.m. but was accessible around 10:20 a.m. The MTA has advised drivers to update their E-ZPass accounts before entering the toll zones, as drivers without their current license plates linked will face much more expensive tolls by mail.

Most tolls will be collected through E-ZPass, thanks to gantries already set up at the congestion zone entry points. Drivers without an E-ZPass will be mailed a bill and forced to pay a higher rate
