tollsbymailny.com
tollsbymailny.com is an official New York Tolls by Mail web address that now directs users to the unified E-ZPass New York website for paying toll bills and managing toll-related services.
What is tollsbymailny.com used for?
The website helps drivers pay New York toll bills when their trips were recorded through the state's cashless toll system without payment through a qualifying E-ZPass account.
The current site includes tools to manage and pay a toll bill or violation, review payment options, find participating toll facilities, and access E-ZPass services.
The New York State Thruway Authority also identifies Tolls by Mail as its billing system for drivers who use cashless toll roads without E-ZPass.
Why does tollsbymailny.com open E-ZPass New York?
As of September 2026, visiting tollsbymailny.com redirects to the official E-ZPass New York website, where E-ZPass and Tolls by Mail services are now presented together.
The unified website still has a dedicated Tolls by Mail section with options to pay toll bills, handle violations, check payment methods, and get customer support.
This redirect does not by itself mean that the old domain is fake or abandoned because New York agencies continue to identify tollsbymailny.com as an official payment address.
How does Tolls by Mail work in New York?
New York uses electronic toll gantries that let vehicles continue driving without stopping at a traditional toll booth.
Cameras photograph a vehicle's license plate when no E-ZPass transaction can be completed, and DMV registration records are used to identify the registered owner.
The New York State Thruway Authority says a toll bill is normally mailed to the registered owner about 30 to 45 days after the trip.
The bill shows toll activity, the amount owed, the payment deadline, and information needed to locate the bill online.
How can you pay a Tolls by Mail bill?
The online system lets users find and pay qualifying toll bills through the official Tolls by Mail section of E-ZPass New York.
New York also supports payments through the Tolls NY mobile app, which the state identifies as the only official authorized app for both E-ZPass NY and Tolls by Mail customers.
Drivers can also use approved phone, mail, and retail payment methods instead of paying through a website.
Official toll invoices list the Tolls by Mail Payment Processing Center at PO Box 15183, Albany, NY 12212-5183 for eligible mailed payments.
Does E-ZPass cost less than Tolls by Mail?
New York E-ZPass can produce large savings on some Thruway trips because its rates can be lower than Tolls by Mail rates.
For example, the official 2026 New York State Thruway toll calculator shows a Class 2L trip between Albany's Exit 24 and Exit 15 near New Jersey at $5.51 with NY E-ZPass versus $9.64 with Tolls by Mail.
That example produces a $4.13 saving for a New York E-ZPass customer on a trip of about 118 miles.
Actual prices depend on the road, vehicle class, toll point, direction, and discount plan, so drivers should check the current calculator rather than assume one price applies everywhere.
Is tollsbymailny.com safe and legitimate?
The domain is supported by official New York government material, including toll invoices published by the New York State Thruway Authority that tell customers to pay online at tollsbymailny.com.
Drivers should still type the known address into their browser instead of trusting an unexpected link in a text message or email.
The official Tolls by Mail phishing policy says the service will not contact customers asking them to provide sensitive information such as a credit card number or Social Security number by email.
The current E-ZPass New York site also warns that E-ZPass New York does not request payment by text message.
How can you spot a fake New York toll message?
A message should raise concern when it creates extreme urgency, threatens immediate penalties, contains spelling errors, or sends you to a web address that only looks similar to the official domain.
Scammers can copy logos and page designs, so a professional-looking payment page is not proof that the website is genuine.
The safer approach is to open a new browser window and enter tollsbymailny.com or e-zpassny.com yourself before checking whether a real toll bill exists.
What should drivers remember about tollsbymailny.com?
tollsbymailny.com remains a legitimate gateway for New York Tolls by Mail services, while its current redirect to E-ZPass New York brings toll payments, violations, E-ZPass accounts, and official help into one system.
