"DelDOT has proudly been in the forefront of promoting the advantages of the E-ZPass toll collecting system," Transportation Secretary Carolann Wicks stated. "Nearly three years ago we established our own Delaware-based E-ZPass Customer Service Center where customers can call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and have their needs addressed promptly, courteously, and efficiently. Now with the expansion of our services to the DMV, our customers will find it easier and more convenient to enroll in the benefits of electronic toll collection."
