You should be able to use the mail, at least for the NY EZ Pass.

If you are not going to use the transponder and can’t return it in person, mailing is probably your best option. You can mail in your NY EZ Pass any time, but there is a deadline for returning other states’ EZ Passes.

You should be able to mail your transponder back using regular mail (and no extra postage) but check with the agency that issued it before sending yours off.

Stop by one of their walk-in centers and see if anyone is in line when you get to a window.

This is the easiest and fastest way to return your E-ZPass transponder. You can do this at any of their walk-in centers located throughout New York.

When you enter a walk-in center, take a number from the ticket dispenser near the entrance. There may be someone standing in line at each window, so be sure to arrive early enough before closing hours so there is no one in front of you when it comes time for your turn.

If you’re not going to use it, return it.

If you don’t return your E-ZPass transponder within 30 days of returning your car or if you don’t have one and need a new one, New York State Thruway Authority will charge a $25 fee for each of those instances.

The fine is usually waived if the customer can prove they were unaware of their responsibility to return the device at checkout time.
