Assuming that you are US based, I strongly recommend checking the Wiki and the spreadsheet (post no. 2) in the linked thread; very few US financial institutions issue Chip & Pin cards.

USA EMV cards: Availability, experiences, Q&A (Chip & PIN -or- Chip & Signature).

I can't remember where I read it on FT, but my recollection is that the automated toll kiosks accept only French issued cards. I don't know if that is still the case. In any event, I suggest carrying enough cash with you to pay for the tolls; they sure add up fast (interactive key rates, routes)
