Using FasTrak for Express Lanes
To use the newly opened 405 Express Lanes, people will need: (1) a FasTrak responder and (2) a valid FasTrak account.
FasTrak responders are available for free from any toll agency in California, as well as directly through the 405 Express Lanes website at www.405ExpressLanes. com. Switchable transponders, which allow drivers to tell the system if there are two or more occupants in the vehicle, cost $15.
Transponders are also available through OCTA at www. 91ExpressLanes. com and through www. thetollroads.com.
Carpools with two or more occupants can drive for free during non-peak hours for the first 3.5 years after the Express Lanes open. A switchable FasTrak transponder is required.
Vehicles with three or more occupants, as well as motorcycles, can drive for free at all hours.
Disabled veterans and disabled people with permanently mounted disabled license plates can travel for free. Valid DMV registration for the vehicle must be presented when the FasTrak account is opened.
