FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 12, 2026 |
Starting Wednesday, July 8, 2026, Maine Turnpike Authority (MTA) will have a full inventory of new windshield sticker tags available for Maine E‑ZPass customers.
Sticker tags are a low‑profile, modern alternative to traditional hard‑case transponders. They adhere directly to a vehicle’s windshield and provide the same seamless tolling experience at all E‑ZPass locations. Customers who prefer to continue using hard‑case transponders may do so.
Sticker tags offer the following benefits:
• Lower cost than traditional hard‑case transponders
• Reduced plastic use and no internal battery
• Enhanced security — the tag disables automatically if tampered with or removed
• Smaller, less visible design
Sticker tags will be available for purchase at the MTA Customer Walk‑In Center in Portland.
More details, including the launch date for MTA's upcoming branded sticker tags, will be announced mid‑summer on the website. To sign up for release updates on branded sticker tag availability, email cfarrell@maineturnpike.com
Note: Not all account types are eligible to use windshield sticker tags at this time. Some customers — which may include business accounts or fleets — should plan to continue using plate and hard‑case transponders.
