FasTrak
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/80/FasTrak_transponder.jpg/220px-FasTrak_transponder.jpg)
FasTrak is the electronic toll collection (ETC) system used in the state of California in the United States. The system is used statewide on all of the toll roads, toll bridges, and high-occupancy toll lanes along the California Freeway and Expressway System.
As with other ETC systems, FasTrak is designed to eliminate the need for cars to stop to pay at toll booths, thus decreasing the

Under California law,
Currently, FasTrak transponders are not compatible with
A toll collected based on a license plate is called an image toll and can be identified on the customer statement by noticing the license plate number listed instead of the transponder number. If one fails to correctly list license plates on their account, the FasTrak customer will receive toll violation notices as if they were another driver. If a FasTrak customer receives a toll violation notice under these circumstances, they only refer to the reverse side of the Toll Violation notice and complete the section at the bottom of the notice that will add the new vehicle to their account. Conversely, a license plate should be removed from an account after a change in ownership, otherwise resulting in paying for another driver's tolls via the Image Toll process.

Service center operations
For convenience, all toll agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area share the same billing and customer service center. The
Fees
Each FasTrak account agency has its own monthly minimums / monthly fees (from lowest to highest)
Agency | Area | Fee(s) |
---|---|---|
Bay Area FasTrak | San Francisco Bay Area | $25 initial prepaid toll deposit, but no monthly fees[7] |
Transportation Corridor Agencies (The Toll Roads of Orange County) | Orange County | None[8] |
SANDAG | San Diego County | $3.50 minimum monthly toll, plus $1 per transponder.[9] |
Metro ExpressLanes | Los Angeles County | $40 initial prepaid toll deposit, plus a $1 monthly maintenance fee, if setting up automatic credit card replenishment payments; $50 initial prepaid toll deposit, a $25 transponder deposit, and a $1 monthly maintenance fee for accounts with manual replenishment payments.[10] |
91 Express Lanes
|
Orange and Riverside Counties | $40 initial prepaid toll deposit if setting up automatic credit card replenishment payments, $50 initial prepaid toll deposit for accounts with manual replenishment payments. The standard plan consists of a $2 monthly maintenance fee, while the convenience plan has a $100 one-time enrollment fee with no monthly fees.[11] |
405 Express Lanes | Orange County | $40 initial prepaid toll deposit if setting up automatic credit card replenishment payments; $50 initial prepaid toll deposit for accounts with manual replenishment payments. The standard plan consists of a $2 monthly maintenance fee, while the convenience plan has a $100 one-time enrollment fee with no monthly fees.[12] |

Tag types
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/21/Switchable_FasTrak_transponder.jpg/220px-Switchable_FasTrak_transponder.jpg)
The standard FasTrak transponder tag can be used by most vehicles. Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) also offers a sticker transponder that has the same functionality as a standard one.[14]
For those traveling on the
For eligible clean air vehicles (CAVs) registered with the California DMV, the Bay Area FasTrak center and Riverside County HOT express lanes also offer a special "FasTrak CAV" tag for those who qualify for those discounts on applicable toll facilities.[13][15] Other toll agencies may instead offer a special account for registered clean air vehicles on their HOT express lanes.[17][19]
For the I-15 Express Lanes in San Diego County, SANDAG only offers the standard FasTrak transponder, and instead instructs drivers that they can "declare" that they are a carpool or a registered CAV (and thus do not have to pay a toll) by removing their transponder from the windshield or covering their tag in the provided mylar bag.[20][21][22]
Neither the Orange County toll roads operated by the TCA nor the South Bay Expressway toll road in San Diego County offer carpooling or CAV discounts.[6][22]
Retail availability
The Bay Area FasTrak center, Metro ExpressLanes, and SANDAG offer a packaged FasTrak transponder sold over-the-counter at a retail setting, such as nearby Costco locations. Customers must still register their transponders with the issuing agency.[15][23][24]
Security
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/63/Roadside_antennae.jpg/220px-Roadside_antennae.jpg)
A teardown analysis of the transponder and analysis of its security issues was published at Black Hat 2008.[25] They are updated remotely, and do not use encryption.[26] Furthermore, FasTrak's basic functionality and specifications are listed under Title 21, Division 2, Chapter 16 of the California Code of Regulations, and are thus freely accessible to the general public.[27]
FasTrak units are used to generate 5-1-1 traffic data, using sensors and antennae placed across various freeways.[26]
History
As the first ETC system in North America was installed on the Dallas North Tollway in 1989, many California toll facilities started to express interest in the technology. Because the state's toll roads and bridges are run by different government agencies, there was the possibility that a number of different incompatible ETC systems would be instituted throughout California. Therefore, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1523 in 1990, requiring Caltrans, the state's Department of Transportation, to develop a statewide technical specification which all systems would be required to meet.[1] As a result, California was the first in the nation to require all of its toll bridges and roads to use the same ETC system.[28] This technical specification was later codified in Title 21, Division 2, Chapter 16 of the California Code of Regulations.[27]
When the
When TCA first introduced the FasTrak system, the electronic transponders consisted of a gadget about the size of a Walkman in which a smart card was inserted.[31] However, the smart cards were unpopular with both tollway officials and users because they cost more, offered little advantage, and customers were charged with a $10 annual fee (which has since been discontinued).[32] By the time the
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2e/FasTrak_Orange_County.jpg/220px-FasTrak_Orange_County.jpg)
TCA later deployed the FasTrak system to the two other toll roads they administer as soon as they opened: the

However, the system had to be modified so that it could be used on California's toll bridges. After a test run on the Carquinez Bridge in 1996, it had accuracy problems in dealing with the 18 different toll classifications for different kinds of trucks.[34] After the changes were made and another test run, the Carquinez Bridge became the first California toll bridge to use FasTrak in 1997. However, bureaucratic inaction, technical difficulties, and financial mismanagement delayed the deployment of the system to the other six state-run toll bridges in the
Since then, several other new toll facilities around California have either opened, are under construction, or are in the planning stages. They are all required to accept FasTrak as per the aforementioned state law.
In 2009, San Francisco International Airport began accepting FasTrak in all of its parking garages, including long-term parking.[37] Currently only FasTrak accounts opened from either the Bay Area FasTrak Customer Center or from Transportation Corridor Agencies can be used at the airport.[38]

In 2019, TCA introduced a sticker transponder to replace the former plastic transponder.
Toll facilities using FasTrak
Current
All eight toll bridges only collect tolls in one direction. All other toll facilities collect tolls in either direction, though some express lanes exist in only one direction of their freeway in parts or the whole of their length.
^ indicates that carpools require the switchable "FasTrak Flex" transponder.
HOV 2+ indicates that carpools require two or more persons.
HOV 3+ indicates that carpools require three or more persons.
† indicates that two-person carpools are tolled differently than solo drivers or carpools with three or more, typically at a rate intermediate between the solo and 3+ rates
