Interstate 80 Express Lanes Open

    New north and southbound express lanes are now operating on Interstate 80 in Solano County between Fairfield and I-505. Here are rules for the new express lanes:

  • All vehicles must have a FasTrak® toll tag to use the express lanes;
  • Three-person carpools, vanpools, buses, two-seat vehicles carrying two people and motorcycles with a FasTrak Flex toll tag set to the 3+ position travel toll free;
  • Two-person carpools with a FasTrak Flex toll tag set to the 2+ position pay half-price tolls; and
  • Other solo drivers pay the full toll to use the express lanes with either a standard FasTrak toll tag or a FasTrak Flex tag set to the 1 position.

Operating hours for the I-80 express lanes are weekdays from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. Toll prices adjust dynamically depending on real-time traffic levels (rise as traffic increases and fall as traffic declines). Digital signs over the roadway display the toll rates for various destinations. Customers always pay the toll displayed when they enter the express lane, even if toll rates change during their trip. Toll-paying customers pay for each toll zone they enter..

Express lanes are designed to keep traffic moving reliably without congestion, and to encourage travelers to carpool or use transit to get a faster trip.
