Fast Lane was the branding for E-ZPass used in Massachusetts between 1998 and 2012, with Fast Lane-branded transponders still in use. Fast Lane was used (and still is under the E-ZPass branding) on the Massachusetts Turnpike, Sumner Tunnel, Ted Williams Tunnel, and Tobin Bridge. It is also accepted at Route 128 Station parking garage, operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Fast Lane is fully interoperable with the many E-ZPass facilities in other states; however, since mid-2002, Fast Lane users receive a discount on some tolls that E-ZPass users do not enjoy. They and new customers after the rebranding to E-ZPass still enjoy these discounts as of 2013.

In 2012 the Department of Transportation began the process of converting all existing Fast Lanes to E-ZPass lanes and will phase out the Fast Lane name. The Fast Lane website is now branded as E-ZPass MA. With the change, the toll collection system has ceased to have corporate sponsorship.
