About FasTrak FAQs

What happened to my ExpressAccount?

If you’re wondering what happened to your ExpressAccount, it has now become a FasTrak account. The Toll Roads, which operate State Routes 73, 133, 241, and 261, replaced ExpressAccounts with FasTrak accounts to align with California’s statewide electronic toll collection system. Your account balance, transponder, and payment methods remain active, but you now benefit from FasTrak’s compatibility across all tolled bridges, lanes, and roads in California. To manage your account, log in to TheTollRoads.com or The Toll Roads app using your existing credentials. Ensure your vehicle’s license plate is updated to avoid violations.

Who owns and operates The Toll Roads?

Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) owns and operates The Toll Roads. The TCA is a public agency formed by the California legislature to plan, finance, construct, and operate these toll roads. Unlike other toll facilities in California, the TCA focuses on providing efficient travel options in Orange County while charging no monthly account maintenance fees for FasTrak users. Visit TheTollRoads.com for more details on their mission and services.

What is FasTrak and how do I use it to pay tolls?

FasTrak is California’s electronic toll collection system, allowing drivers to pay tolls automatically on every tolled bridge, lane, and road in the state, including The Toll Roads (State Routes 73, 133, 241, and 261). To use FasTrak, affix a transponder to your vehicle’s windshield.

As you pass through a toll point, the toll is deducted from your prepaid account, charged to a linked credit card, or invoiced. Sign up for a FasTrak account at TheTollRoads.com, mount your transponder correctly, and ensure sufficient funds to enjoy seamless, cashless toll payments. Learn more at FasTrak.org.
