Is there a penalty for drivers who do not pay their tolls?

If a driver does not have an account and does not pay their toll(s) within five days before or after driving, a violation will be processed for each transaction. A violation penalty will be assessed in addition to the toll, consistent with our current policy for non-payment.

Each violation is assessed a $57.50 penalty in addition to the toll amount due.  

If you fail to respond to the first violation notice, a second violation notice will be mailed to you with an additional $42.50 penalty. Failure to respond to the second notice could result in a Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) hold being put on the vehicle's registration.
