They communicate with reader equipment built into lane-based or [[Open road tolling|open-road]] toll collection lanes by transmitting a unique radio signature. The most common type of tag is an ''internal tag'' that can be mounted on the inside of the vehicle's [[windshield]] in proximity to the [[rear-view mirror]]. Though toll agencies advise adherence to the windshield with mounting strips (usually [[3M]]'s [[Scotch Tape|Scotch brand]] "Dual Lock" fasteners), third-party options using trays with [[suction cup]]s to adhere a pass to a windshield temporarily if used in multiple vehicles are available. Some vehicles have windshields that block RF signals; for those vehicles, historical vehicles, and customers who have aesthetic concerns, an ''external tag'' is offered, typically designed to attach to the vehicle's front [[license plate]] mounting points.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.e-zpassny.com/en/about/tolltags.shtml |website=E-ZPass New York |title=Tags |access-date=July 23, 2013}}</ref>
