Military Program

Members of the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard) serving on Active Duty who drive The Toll Roads (State Routes 73, 133, 241 and 261) without paying and receive a Notice of Toll Evasion in the mail are subject to pay the toll only with no penalties assessed. An Active Duty member, their spouse or domestic partner must be the registered owner of the vehicle at the time the toll was incurred. To take advantage of The Toll Roads Military Program, drivers must open a FasTrak® account, and send a copy of proof of Active Duty to CustomerService@thetollroads.com. This program is a one-time courtesy for Active Duty members only and cannot be used for tolls incurred prior to January 2016. Only tolls that were incurred while a member of the U.S. Armed Forces is serving on active duty are eligible for this program.
