Metro ExpressLanes
Metro ExpressLanes are toll roads in Los Angeles County on the I-10 and I-110 freeways. It is a program designed to improve traffic flow and provide enhanced travel options. ExpressLanes provide mobility and offers safe and reliable trip for users. More choices for solo drivers. More rewards for carpoolers. More transit service.
Tolls on the ExpressLanes will be calculated using Congestion Pricing. Congestion pricing provides an opportunity to sell some of the additional capacity on the ExpressLanes to those willing to pay a toll and maximizes efficiency of the entire freeway. It is designed to keep traffic in the ExpressLanes flowing smoothly, resulting in a more reliable travel time. Tolls on the ExpressLanes are based on real-time traffic conditions and vary according to the level of congestion in the ExpressLanes. The toll is higher when there is more traffic in the ExpressLanes, and lower when traffic is lighter.
FasTrak ® is an electronic toll collection system used on the ExpressLanes as well as other tollways in California that allows drivers to drive through designated "FasTrak® Only" lanes without stopping. There will be no toll booths and all tolls will be collected electronically. All vehicles, except motorcycles, will need a FasTrak® transponder, associated with a valid FasTrak® account, to access the Metro ExpressLanes.
Customers who want the option to travel as a toll-paying solo driver and/or toll free carpooler will need the switchable FasTrak® Flex. Motorists should indicate the number of occupants in their vehicle prior to starting their trip on the ExpressLanes. FasTrak® Flex transponders will be portable and can be moved from one vehicle to another.
Drivers that already have a standard (non-switchable) FasTrak® Flex can only use the Metro ExpressLanes as a toll paying customer. Drivers that want the option to travel toll-free on the Metro ExpressLanes must upgrade to the switchable FasTrak. The Metro ExpressLanes FasTrak® Flex transponder can be used on all other toll facilities in California.
