Have an E-ZPass? You will soon be able to use it to pay for gas on your phone in Rhode Island.
PayByCar, which the program that allows you to pay for gas on your phone using E-ZPass, announced Tuesday it will be expanding into several states. The expansion will take place over the next two years.
The initiative has been active in Massachusetts since 2022, with more than 20 gas stations across the state participating.
Here’s what to know about the program’s expansion into the Ocean State.
How to pay for gas and parking with your E-ZPass
PayByCar is a mobile payment system that allows you to pay for gas or parking using your E-ZPass.
To use it, enrollment is available on the PayByCar website. Payment is charged to the card linked to the user’s E-ZPass account.
Once you have an active account, you can use it at any participating location. When arriving at a location, you will receive a text to utilize the touchfree payment system. Once completed, a receipt will be sent to your phone.
It eliminated putting in a pin numbers and digging around for a credit or debit card. E-ZPass says it cuts the time of a transaction in half.
“The drivers of 55M vehicles with E-ZPass tags already know how seamless paying for tolls is. We are determined to bring that simplicity to all the other payments made on the go,” said Kevin Condon, Founder and CEO at PayByCar, Inc in a press release. “We are also drivers so we know how frustrating it can be downloading multiple apps and wallets and then searching for them when you need to make a quick purchase, managing paper receipts, losing tickets in parking garages, or risking identity theft from transactions where card skimming results in millions of dollars in losses each year.”
Where can you use your E-ZPass to pay for gas in Rhode Island?
The PayByCar EZPass system will be expanded across the United States in the next two years, the company said. The exact launch date in Rhode Island is not yet known.
What other states is E-ZPass expanding PayByCar to?
Within the next two years, E-ZPass is looking to bring PayByCar to Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Virginia, West Virginia, and Georgia.

Rhode Island State Police, DEA agents seize 141,000 Fetanyl pills | ABC6
JOHNSTON, R.I. (WLNE) — Rhode Island State Police said that a joint operation with the DEA Providence District Office and the Massachusetts State Police in Johnston, Warwick, and Massachusetts resulted in the arrest of four suspects and the seizure of 141,000 Fentanyl pills.
Yhoan A Carmona German, Josue Carmona German, Angel F. Pena Rodriguez, and Debhani Garza were all arrested as part of the operation.
State police said the operation took place in September and October and was the result of an investigation into a Dominican Drug Trafficking Organization.
Some the charges the suspects face include possession with the intent to distribute narcotics and conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl.

Rhode Island public school charges mother $117K for records request about teacher who called Charlie Kirk ‘garbage’
A Rhode Island public school district reportedly charged a mother roughly $117,000 for records pertaining to a high school teacher who was placed on paid leave after calling slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk a “piece of garbage.”
Benjamin Fillo, a social studies teacher at Barrington High School, was ousted in September shortly after posting a rant on TikTok branding Kirk a “piece of garbage” who “hated” the LGBTQ community, women’s rights, and democracy.
One irate mother submitted a public records request for information related to Fillo’s school email and course materials — but the district pushed back with a steep fee, according to a letter from the law firm representing Barrington Public Schools.
Nicole Solas sought to obtain any emails Fillo sent from Sept. 1 2024 onward referencing “Trump” and a secondary request for more email correspondences sent since Jan 1. 2016 also flagging “Trump.”
Solas additionally asked for all of Fillo’s “curriculum materials” he used “to teach the young and impressionable minds of other people’s children who are entitled to an education free from indoctrination,” according to the letter.
The law firm wrote that Solas clarified she was looking for all material Fillo used since he started teaching at the school in 2010, which came out to thousands of documents from 157 courses stored in three different learning management systems, according to the letter.
The records request flagged a staggering 789 emails Fillo sent containing the word “Trump” since Sept. 1 2024, according to the letter.
Solas’ request, though, wasn’t cheap.
If she wanted to obtain all the requested materials, she would have to fork over $117,130.50 — with the 15-year curriculum alone costing roughly $116,000, according to the letter.
“This estimate that we received is exorbitant, completely unreasonable, just to get the curriculum materials,” Solas told Fox News Digital in an interview Thursday.
Solas told the outlet that she insisted on reviewing the curriculum materials in full because that is “the only way that you can see what kids are [doing] in public schools.”
Solas noted that she does not live in the Barrington School District and sent her children to private school.
She’s now pushing the school to release the materials free of charge.
“I just don’t see how this can stand if we file a lawsuit on it,” Solas said.
Shortly after Fillo was placed on leave, a group of outraged students and parents stormed into a school board meeting to push for Fillo’s permanent removal.
“No matter what anyone says to me, I will never stand for violence, especially of a man who was publicly murdered in front of his wife, one of his children and thousands of students and other bystanders,” Jakari, one of Fillo’s students, said during the meeting.
Kirk was assassinated during a stop on his Turning Point USA American Comeback tour at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10. His alleged gunman, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, was charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury and obstruction of justice.
