New FasTrak® Lanes and Other Improvements!

The Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) and Caltrans have been implementing new FasTrak®-only lanes and other FasTrak® improvements at toll plazas all summer long to increase toll plaza efficiency and expand the use of electronic toll collection at the Bay Area’s seven state-owned toll bridges. The program includes the addition of new FasTrak®-only lanes, the installation of improved signs, and the extension of FasTrak-only lanes to direct motorists to the appropriate lanes well in advance of the toll plaza.

Mobility Improvements in San Francisco Through Congestion Pricing

The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) is conducting the Mobility, Access, and Pricing Study to examine congestion pricing as a means to help manage congestion and improve mobility in the City. The study is intended to determine whether congestion pricing is right for San Francisco and whether existing technologies, such as FasTrak®, could be used to establish an efficient pricing program.

The SFCTA would like to gather public input. Please join one of their upcoming interactive workshops and community discussions. For a schedule, or to learn more about the Study, please go to www.sfmobility.org.
