Vermont has no electronic toll collection infrastructure and no toll facilities on any public road.</p>

−
== How to pay toll in Vermont ==
 
  
−
In Vermont, you can '''pay tolls with cash only'''. There is '''no electronic toll collection or Pay-By-Mail''' system on any of the Vermont toll roads.
+
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I use E-ZPass or credit cards at Vermont toll roads?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No. All three Vermont toll roads are cash-only. There is no electronic toll infrastructure in Vermont. Bring cash if you plan to visit any of the three mountain drives.</p>

−
== How to pay missed tolls in Vermont ==
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No. All three are seasonal — typically May through October — and subject to weather closures. Always call ahead or check the operator website before visiting, especially in shoulder seasons.</p>
  
−
Due to the presence of cash booths on Vermont toll roads, missed toll is not a concern here. You must pay tolls to cross the toll roads before crossing them.
+
<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do I need exact change?</h3>
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Manned booths are staffed so change is typically available, but bringing approximate cash is advisable given the remote locations.</p>

Vermont Toll Roads Complete Guide

System: Cash-only toll collection at manned booths (seasonal mountain scenic drives only)
Coverage: 3 private scenic mountain toll roads — no highway tolling
Currency: US Dollar (USD)
Technology: Manual toll collection; no electronic systems
Operators: Private operators (Mount Equinox Equinox Preservation Trust; Burke Mountain; Mt. Mansfield)

Do Vermont Highways Have Tolls? 2026 Update

No. All of Vermont's major highways — including I-89, I-91, I-93, US Route 2, US Route 4, and US Route 7 — are completely toll-free. Vermont has no electronic toll collection infrastructure and no toll facilities on any public road.

Key Reality: Vermont's three "toll roads" are privately operated seasonal mountain drives to summit viewpoints — tourist attractions rather than transportation infrastructure. E-ZPass and other transponders are not used anywhere in Vermont.

2026 Update: Vermont remains one of the few states with no electronic tolling infrastructure anywhere in the state. No toll road proposals are active in the Vermont legislature for 2026.

Vermont Toll Road Rates: Scenic Mountain Drives (2026)

Toll Road Car / Truck Rate Motorcycle Operating Season
Mount Equinox Skyline Drive $20–$40 per vehicle $15–$25 May – October
Burke Mountain Toll Road $25–$35 per vehicle Not permitted 8 AM – 8 PM daily (summer/fall)
Mt. Mansfield Auto Toll Road $30–$40 per vehicle Not permitted Late May – Mid October

All three roads are cash-only. No credit cards, E-ZPass, or other electronic payment is accepted. Rates shown are approximate ranges; verify current-season rates with the operators before visiting as pricing can vary year to year.

Details by Facility

Mount Equinox Skyline Drive (Manchester, VT):

  • 5.2-mile paved road to the 3,848-foot summit of Mount Equinox — the highest peak in the Taconic Mountain Range
  • Operated by the Equinox Preservation Trust; spectacular panoramic views of Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts
  • Open May through late October, weather permitting; gate at base; cash payment required
  • Phone: (802) 362-1114
