Team 10 also questioned SANDAG why signage on I-15 does not say you will still face charges with certain transponders. “I’m not getting any assistance from The Toll Roads and I’m not getting a clear direction,” he said.

He added that “when a driver has specific… questions about a particular toll facility, they are referred to that agency.”ĭinges said that did not happen in his case. Under Transponder FAQs, there is a question that explains sticker transponders get charged even with carpool.Ī Toll Roads spokesperson told Team 10 that “customer service representatives are committed to having a general working knowledge of all the state’s toll facilities.” While an explanation about the sticker transponder and carpool charges was not in his welcome packet, the information is on The Toll Roads website buried in the FAQ section. In San Diego, if you sign up for FasTrak for I-15 or SR-125, you get a physical transponder which you can put in a mylar bag given to you by SANDAG to avoid charges if you have carpool. He said when he called The Toll Roads, customer service did not tell him I-15 was run by SANDAG, a completely different agency. The transponder is the equipment that reads the technology to charge your account.ĭinges got a sticker transponder from Orange County that charges your account no matter how many people are in the vehicle.ĭinges was not aware of that and said the information was not in his welcome packet that came with the sticker. “There carpool signs that say two or more are free, so I’m assuming that I’m complying with the carpool lane and I shouldn’t be charged,” he said.Ĭharges depend on what type of FasTrak transponder you have. It is a different story when he’s with his kids. When he is alone on the I-15, Dinges said he expects to be charged. He has a Fastrak sticker affixed to his windshield-a sticker he got from the Transportation Corridor Agencies, also known as The Toll Roads of Orange County. “I drive up the 15 to the 79 and Temecula where I pick my kids up,” said Dinges, who lives in San Diego County. Turns out he was wrong-and finding the correct answer for him involved multiple agencies.
