Toll Road Rate Increase Scrapped
In a break for thousands of Inland Empire commuters, operators of Orange County’s public toll roads on Wednesday killed a proposed fare increase for motorists who use transponders issued by other turnpikes.
The operations and finance committee of the Transportation Corridor Agencies voted unanimously to scrap a proposed 50-cent rate increase next year for FasTrak customers from other tollways, such as the 91 Express Lanes and the I-15 toll lanes in San Diego County.
The FasTrak system relies on dashboard- or windshield-mounted transponders to bill motorists electronically for every toll road trip they make.
