Here in Oklahoma we use PikPass to automatically pay our too many tolls. PikPass holders have a prepaid account with the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority and pay a slightly small toll than cars and trucks paying cash. Supposedly its compensation for having your money in their account and making interest off of the deposit. Usually about .20-.25 cents per length of toll. Do other states have a similar system where auto pay account holders pay a smaller toll?

MA just went completely electronic on toll roads. E-ZPass MA residents pay slightly less, E-ZPass holders from other states pay what the toll was before it went electronic. Those without an E-ZPass get sent a bill through the mail from plate readers in the electronic toll gates. They pay much more.

Illinois does. And our I-Pass works all the way to NY on the Turnpike. It also works anywhere in Indiana, and we used it last week to cross the bridge at Louisville. I no longer know how much we are paying, actually, as we never receive a bill and only the cash rate is posted on the highway. Originally it was half off, but I don't know. We live in Wisconsin, so we only use our I-Pass when we leave the state. Wisconsin does not charge to drive on our roads.

My state of Maryland currently has EZ-Pass tolls that are usually 25 percent less than the cash tolls. For the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, EZ-Pass ($2.50) is 37.5 percent less than cash ($4.00). This is for automobiles. I don’t think that there is such a difference for trucks.

Toll authorities typically charge a lower toll for the electronic tolls than for cash because it costs a lot less to collect these tolls electronically.

Cash tolls are eventually going to disappear entirely. We are seeing more and more toll facilities in the NYC region where there are no toll collectors and no toll booths.

Yes, NTTA and TxTag in Texas are run that way.

IL I-Pass is a 50% discount from the cash tolls.

I-Pass now works in IN and OH, but I don't know if the same discount applies.

In Virginia, the Dulles Greenway pays an annual dividend to frequent drives who pay with SmarTag/EZPass.
