1-888-MTA-PASS

Good luck

I'm thinking of getting a Maine EZPass in addition to the NH one. The only problem with dropping the NH one is that I go through the tolls in Hooksett, Bedford, and Hampton all the time, so I'd lose that discount. I'm going to call the MTA to find out first, though, if I can get a Maine plan on mine. Again, thanks for the idea!

CJ, I thought you were getting a new car later this year?

Be careful. The problem with two EZPasses in the car is that both will register when you go through a toll, which means you'll get charged on both.

See if MTA has a solution for you. Good luck.

375-400 miles/week.

I put on 2,200 kilometers last week. Pretty typical week for me. I've decided I'm going to start renting a car for work rather than continue to put that kind of mileage on my own.

I drive daily (sometimes twice a day) from Calgary to the mountain resort area of Canmore/Banff with clients, and then tool around the region on business (promoting the resort www.tsmv.ca to international clients). I put on about 450 km today.

Banff is absolutely gorgeous. I love it up there!

60K miles so far this year.... on my frequent flyer plan that is.

25K on the M5 last year from driving.. but only 2000 miles on the R6 and about 500 miles on the kestrel airfoil pro.
