The original electronic toll collection system in Massachusetts was called MassPass and was installed at the Ted Williams Tunnel.

When the system was first introduced, AAA gave out to its Western Massachusetts members an orange Fast Lane pass.

[1] In 2011, MassDOT announced that the Fast Lane branding would be dropped beginning in mid-2012 and rebranded to the typical E-ZPass and switch to the purple and white signage.

It inherited the sponsorship upon merging with BankBoston, the founding financial institution of the local system along with the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The court in the New Jersey case noted parenthetically that "...out-of-state residents who commute regularly to Boston each day might very well decide to carry only a [Massachusetts] Fast Lane transponder."
