Bay Area’s new ‘Lexus lanes’ will require a new FasTrak
By the end of the month, when the I-580 Express Lanes are expected to open, carpoolers who want to keep getting a free ride in the fast lane will need a special new FasTrak toll tag, known as “FasTrak Flex.”
The new tags still resemble an ink pad but have a switch to indicate the number of occupants in the vehicle.
Express lanes are carpool lanes that allow solo drivers to pay a toll to gain access to the lanes.
The new toll tags, featuring a switch to indicate the number of occupants in a vehicle, are available at Costco and Walgreens stores in the Tri-Valley area of eastern Alameda County and in the northern San Joaquin Valley, online at www.bayareafastrak.org or by calling (877) BAY-TOLL or (877) 229-8655.
