The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) reminds drivers that toll increases take effect on Route 1, I-95, and US 301 at 12:00am on Friday, August 15, 2025.

An online toll calculator is available for customers to view the new toll rates for their vehicles when traveling through the state.

In addition to the toll rate change, we are also changing how customers are billed if they pass through an E-ZPass lane without an E-ZPass in Delaware. Instead of receiving a violation in the mail, the customer will receive an invoice to pay just the toll amount within 30 days. Only after 30 days will the transaction become a violation if not paid.

DelDOT will also continue offering free E-ZPass transponders for new customers who sign up by Sunday, August 31, 2025. Delaware E-ZPass customers will pay a lower toll rate on Route 1 compared to cash/non-Delaware E-ZPass customers. Delaware E-ZPass is available to all customers regardless of residency.

New customers who have not yet received their transponder in the mail should validate that their license plate is correctly listed on their E-ZPass account at acct.ezpassde.com/login.aspx to ensure that no violation will be assessed when traveling through Delaware tolls until their transponder is received.

This is also a good time for all customers to review their E-ZPass accounts and ensure that their contact information, payment method, and vehicle information linked to the account are correct.
