FasTrak is a prepaid electronic toll system that Bay Area commuters use to avoid having to wait in line for toll booths and dig through their wallets and cars for cash. Instead, a transponder on the car's or motorcycle's windshield sends a signal to an overhead antenna and the driver can cruise on through the toll plaza, assuming traffic is moving at cruise speed.
FasTrak is available on eight Bay Area bridges:
-
Antioch Bridge
-
Benicia-Martinez Bridge
-
Carquinez Bridge
-
Richmond-San Rafael Bridge
-
Dumbarton Bridge
-
San Mateo Hayward Bridge
