In most cases, the toll transponders work in the 900MHz ISM band (902-928MHz). On the toll roads here in SoCal, they are licensed to the vendor typically, others to a turnpike or transportation authority.

See FCC licenses as an example:
Oklahoma Turnpike Authority
WNUS960-962
WNVC991-992
WNVD806

Check to see if the device has an FCC id, and run that. Might give you some info as to where to look in the 900MHz band.

I'm not a transponder expert, but I've seen many FCC renewals over the years for a license on 915 MHz. I've done some research on railroad tags and I think that's the freq I've seen them use, so that might be on to something
