FasTrak offers drivers multiple methods to pay tolls and resolve violations.
Get a FasTrak Toll Tag
A FasTrak toll tag is the easiest way to pay on Bay Area toll bridges and avoid violations. If you use Bay Area Express Lanes, you must use a FasTrak toll tag, or you will receive a violation notice. Toll tags are also required to receive discounts in express lanes and bridge carpool lanes.
Pay an Invoice or Violation Notice
When a vehicle passes through a tolling facility without a valid toll tag or License Plate Account, FasTrak will mail an invoice or violation notice to the vehicle’s registered owner.
License Plate Accounts
If you want to pay bridge tolls automatically, but do not want a toll tag, a License Plate Account may be a good option. For drivers who regularly travel over Bay Area toll bridges, a License Plate Account is the best option. A Short-Term License Plate Account is a temporary account that can be used to pay a toll if you crossed a bridge within the last 48 hours, or for tolls that you expect to incur up to 30 days in advance.
The chart below compares the options for paying Bay Area tolls.
