How does the frequent driver discount work? The Toll Roads have introduced a new discount program for prepaid FasTrak accounts. Starting July 1, 2019, drivers with prepaid FasTrak accounts with The Toll Roads who spend $40 in tolls on The Toll Roads (State Routes 73, 133, 241 and 261) during a statement period receive $1 off every toll accumulated on The Toll Roads the following statement period. The $40 is calculated using the base toll rate (excluding discounts earned during the previous statement period).
The Toll Roads’ FasTrak accountholders and FasTrak accountholders from other tolling agencies do not receive an automatic $1 discount at The Toll Roads’ tolling location.
Note: It's important to get a transponder from the agency that operates the tolled bridge, lane or road you'll use most because each tolling agency has its own rules and minimum requirements. A FasTrak transponder issued by any California tolling agency will work on The Toll Roads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still use my switchable, hardcase transponder for carpool discounts on other FasTrak bridges, lanes and roads?
What do I do with my hardcase transponder?
Keep your switchable FasTrak transponder(s) to be eligible for carpool discounts on designated express lanes throughout California. You can have, both, your sticker transponder and switchable transponder mounted to your windshield at the same time. The switchable transponder becomes the default transponder and the appropriate toll will be collected based on the settings on the switchable transponder. For information on carpooling with FasTrak, visit: TheTollRoads.com/Accounts/FasTrak/California.
If you have an old standard FasTrak transponder (with no small black switch), you can choose to dispose of it the way you would a battery or other hazardous household waste. For more information: CalRecycle.ca.gov/ReduceWaste/Batteries.

Why am I receiving a new transponder?
The new sticker transponders cost significantly less than the battery-operated hard-case transponder currently used to collect tolls electronically in the state. With introduction of this new technology we will be passing the cost savings to its FasTrak accountholders, by ending the current monthly account maintenance fee.
