FasTrak is the electronic toll collection (ETC) system used in the state of California in the United States. It operates statewide on all toll roads, toll bridges, and high-occupancy toll lanes that are part of the California Freeway and Expressway System.
Like other ETC systems, FasTrak is designed to eliminate the need for vehicles to stop at toll booths, thereby reducing traffic congestion commonly associated with toll collection. Its implementation aligns with the U.S. Department of Transportation's Intelligent Transportation Systems initiative.
California's toll facilities are decentralized and managed by various local public agencies and special-purpose districts, rather than being operated directly by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) or another centralized state agency. Concerned about the potential development of incompatible ETC systems, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1523 in 1990. This legislation required Caltrans to develop a statewide ETC specification that all toll agencies were mandated to follow.[1][2]
In 1993, the Transportation Corridor Agencies opened the Foothill Toll Road in Orange County, marking the first implementation of the standardized ETC system, which it branded as FasTrak. The state continues to delegate the responsibility for issuing and managing FasTrak accounts to individual toll agencies.
Operations and functionality
[edit]Technology
[edit]
FasTrak uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology operating at 915 MHz to identify vehicles via a transponder mounted on the vehicle (typically to the windshield). As a vehicle passes through a toll point, antennas detect and read the transponder, and the system automatically deducts the toll from a prepaid account.
Caltrans was given the mandate to develop and maintain an open, statewide ETC specification known as "Title 21" after it was added to Title 21 of the California Code of Regulations.[2][3] FasTrak transponders are compatible across California toll roads but not with out-of-state systems like E-ZPass. In 2018, the state began a transition to the national ISO/IEC 18000-63 (6C) standard to support future nationwide interoperability.[4]
If a transponder is not detected, cameras photograph the vehicle’s license plate and attempt to match it to a FasTrak account. If no account is found, either an invoice with no penalty (in locations supporting "pay by plate") or a violation notice is issued and mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.[5]
Tag types
[edit]
FasTrak supports multiple transponder types:
- Standard tag – A hard-case transponder used on all FasTrak toll roads.
- Sticker tag – A low-cost adhesive tag issued by some agencies.[6]
- FasTrak Flex – A switchable tag (settings for 1, 2, or 3+ occupants) required for HOV toll discounts.[7][8][9][10][11]
- FasTrak CAV – Identifies Clean Air Vehicles (CAVs) for applicable toll discounts.[7][8]
Some toll roads allow carpoolers to avoid tolls by placing their standard tag in a mylar bag to block the radio signals, others require a FasTrak Flex transponder.[12][13][14]
Service center operations
[edit]All Bay Area toll facilities use a centralized billing and customer service system operated by the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA).
Transportation Corridor Agencies, operator of the Orange County toll roads, also operates the billing and customer service system for the San Bernardino County high-occupancy toll lanes.[15]
All other Southern California agencies maintain separate billing and customer service systems.[16]
Some agencies "sell" (charge the initial prepaid toll deposit) transponders in a retail setting, such as Costco stores. Customers must still register their transponders with the issuing agency.[8][17][18]
Fees
[edit]FasTrak account fees and requirements vary by issuing agency:[9]
Agency | Area | Monthly fee | Initial prepaid toll deposit | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|
BATA | San Francisco Bay Area | None | $25[19] | |
TCA | Orange County & San Bernardino County | None | None[20] | |
SANDAG | San Diego County | $1 | $50 | $3.50 minimum monthly toll |
LA Metro | Los Angeles County | $1 | $40 (automatic replenishment) $75 (manual replenishment)[21] |
|
OCTA | Orange County | None | $40 (automatic replenishment) $50 (manual replenishment)[22][23] |
$100 setup fee |
$2 | ||||
RCTC | Riverside County | $2 | $40[7] |
Security
[edit]
In 2008, researchers found that FasTrak transponders lacked encryption and could be queried or updated remotely.[24][25][26] As the Title 21 specification is publicly available, this raised concerns about potential misuse.[27] Transponders are also used to generate 5-1-1 traffic data, using sensors and antennae placed across various freeways.[25] The Metropolitan Transportation Commission responded by reviewing the system’s security and exploring possible improvements with vendors.[26]
History
[edit]After the first electronic toll collection (ETC) system in North America was implemented on the Dallas North Tollway in 1989, various toll agencies in California began expressing interest in similar systems. Given that toll roads and bridges in the state are managed by different government entities, there was concern about the potential emergence of multiple, incompatible ETC systems. To address this, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1523 in 1990, directing the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to create a standardized statewide technical specification for ETC systems.[2] California subsequently became the first U.S. state to require all toll facilities to use a uniform ETC system.[28] This specification was later codified in Title 21, Division 2, Chapter 16 of the California Code of Regulations.[27]
The Foothill Toll Road in Orange County, California became the first toll facility in California to implement ETC when it opened in 1993. The Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA), which manages the toll road, branded the system as "FasTrak".[29] TCA still holds the trademark for the "FasTrak" name and logo.[30]

The original FasTrak transponder was a device about the size of a Walkman, into which a smart card was inserted.[31] However, the device was costly to produce and the smart card offered little advantage to customers.[32] By 1995, when the 91 Express Lanes opened, the transponders had been redesigned to be coaster-sized.[33]
FasTrak was subsequently deployed on the San Joaquin Hills Toll Road (1996), the Eastern Toll Road (1998), and the high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on Interstate 15 in San Diego, California (1998).

Adapting FasTrak for California’s toll bridges required additional modifications, especially to handle 18 different toll classifications for trucks. After a trial at the Carquinez Bridge in 1996 revealed accuracy issues,[34] improvements were made, before the bridge adopted FasTrak in 1997. Despite these developments, other state-run Bay Area toll bridges did not adopt the system until October 2000, due to bureaucratic and technical delays.[35] The independently managed Golden Gate Bridge introduced FasTrak a few months earlier in July 2000.
The San Diego-Coronado Bridge briefly used FasTrak before tolls were eliminated in 2002. In 2005, the Bay Area FasTrak Customer Center opened, consolidating services for regional bridges and the Golden Gate Bridge.[36]
FasTrak has since expanded to cover all new toll facilities in California, which are required by law to adopt the system. In 2009, San Francisco International Airport began accepting FasTrak in its parking garages.[37]
The introduction of the Metro ExpressLanes in Los Angeles in 2012 led to the introduction of FasTrak Flex transponders with occupancy switches (1, 2, or 3+ riders), allowing automated toll calculations for carpools and solo drivers.[38] TCA began issuing switchable transponders in 2013,[39] followed by the 91 Express Lanes and the Bay Area in 2015.[12][40]
The TCA introduced a sticker transponder in 2019 to replace the earlier plastic model. The new sticker transponders cost the agency less than $1 each, compared to approximately $20 for the plastic version. The lower cost enabled TCA to eliminate monthly account maintenance fees and the requirement for a prepaid deposit.[41][42][43]
California continues moving toward open road tolling, eliminating cash transactions in favor of transponders, license plate tolling, and online or phone payments. The Golden Gate Bridge became fully cashless in March 2013,[44] followed by TCA-operated toll roads in May 2014.[45] In 2019, California approved the phaseout of toll takers on all state-owned bridges.[46] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, electronic-only tolling was implemented in March 2020 and became permanent by 2021.[47] The only remaining cash-accepting toll road is the South Bay Expressway, which has unstaffed cash machines.[48]
In line with MAP-21 all ETC systems nationwide were required to achieve interoperability by October 1, 2016. In response, California passed Assembly Bill 493 in 2013, enabling collaboration between Caltrans and toll agencies to comply with the mandate.[49] California regulators later approved a phase-in of transponder technology using the ISO/IEC 18000-63 (6C) standard. Rollout began in 2018 and was expected to be complete by 2024.[4]
Toll facilities using FasTrak
[edit]Current
[edit]All eight toll bridges only collect tolls in one direction. All other toll facilities collect tolls in either direction, though some high-occupancy toll lane toll lanes exist in only one direction of their freeway in parts or the whole of their length.
^ indicates that carpools require the switchable "FasTrak Flex" transponder.
HOV 2+ indicates that carpools require two or more persons.
HOV 3+ indicates that carpools require three or more persons.
† indicates that two-person carpools are tolled differently than solo drivers or carpools with three or more, typically at a rate intermediate between the solo and 3+ rates
