In NY there are several types of EZ Pass Accounts. The one most people use is the $25 one described above. I think you pay $10 for the tag deposit, and then get charged according to your tolls. You pay the same as people going through the other tolls, but its MUCH more convenient.

I drive the NY state thruway every single day (for nearly 60miles a day), so I signed up for the "thruway plan" which for $80 lets me drive the first 30 miles of every trip free (or if I just get off/on every 30 miles the whole trip is free! lol) and after that I pay a reduced rate.

But to answer the above question, yes, every single tollbooth you pass through is logged and can be tracked easily online.

And I MUCH prefer to pay for the thruway. I think in total with all the traveling I do (drive to CT and Ohio frequently), I pay $180/year... thats not a lot for 90% of my drive being really good roads and incredibly well plowed in the winter!
