The Toll Roads Exhibiting at Orange County’s Largest Mixer®


Orange County's Largest Mixer® is proud to spotlight The Toll Roads!


FasTrak is an easy-to-use electronic toll collection system that lets toll road drivers use designated "FasTrak only" lanes and pay a toll while driving at highway speeds. The toll is automatically deducted from a prepaid account. With FasTrak, you save valuable time and money. FasTrak customers pay reduced tolls and never need to stop to pay a toll. No waiting at a toll booth, no need for exact change.

Save Money - Save $100* or More a Year
FasTrak customers pay $.40 to $.80 less than cash customers at every tolling location on The Toll Roads. Those savings add up fast, topping $100* or more a year! ( *$100 FasTrak savings based on a minimum FasTrak discount of $.25 per trip with an average of four round trip drives a week for 50 weeks.)

Save Time - Say Goodbye to Toll Booths
FasTrak customers never stop to pay a toll on The Toll Roads. They never even slow down. Overhead antennas in the FasTrak lanes read transponders mounted inside a vehicle's windshield and automatically deduct the appropriate toll from that transponder's prepaid account. Then, periodically, FasTrak accountholders receive an account activity statement, which includes the time, location and amount of each deducted toll.

Save Stress - The Worry-free Way to Drive
Since your FasTrak transponder stays in your car, you're always good to go when it comes to saving time and money on The Toll Roads. You can feel secure that anytime you want to get someplace fast, you're ready and able.

Save Statewide - Drive California and Pay with FasTrak
FasTrak can be used to pay on every toll road and bridge in California. That includes all the local toll roads, as well as on the 91 Express Lanes in Orange County, SR 125 South Bay Expressway, and I-15 Express Lanes in San Diego County and on Bay Area bridges in Northern California.
