New sticker transponders arriving in the mail for use at state toll facilities

The Toll Roads is mailing new sticker transponders this month to FasTrak account holders to replace the hard-case transponders currently in use. The new bandage-size transponder adheres to the inside of a windshield to collect tolls.

It works on all California's toll bridges, lanes and roads, officials say. The FasTrak sticker transponders will be immediately interoperable throughout the state at all toll facilities. The new stickers come sans the $2 per month user fee for folks who have a transponder but rarely use the 241 or other toll roads.

If you choose to dispose of your hard-case transponder, you can dispose of it the way you would a battery.  But, if you carpool on designated express lanes throughout California, keep using your switchable FasTrak transponder to be eligible for carpool discounts.
