The calls are answered in three rings For the video game developer see Three Rings Design. In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, the Three Rings of the Elves of Eregion are fictional magical artifacts.

In addition to phone service, customers may also walk in or use the Web 24 hours a day, seven days a week. No other customer service center in the tolling industry currently provides this level of response.

All told, since opening the new service center, Delaware E-ZPass has added 98,000 new accounts and distributed 180,000 transponders. About DelDOT Toll Roads The following is a list of toll roads.
