Motorists already in possession of a transponder will avoid an additional fee that will cover the costs of the new program.
Angelenos driving on the 10 and 110 freeways can now use the express lanes without fear of penalty.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority agreed this week to eliminate all fines relating to toll evasion after hearing the results of a pilot program that seeks to relieve congestion on clogged roadways.Cars traveling in the pair of express lanes are no longer required to obtain a FasTrak transponder. Motorists with the devices can expect to have their toll debited automatically from an account as usual.
The toll system will photograph the vehicle’s license plate and search for the registered vehicle owner’s mailing address with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Once found, Metro ExpressLanes will mail a notice to the vehicle owner with payment instructions for the toll amount in addition to an $8 fee. Payment can be madeIf payment is not made, Metro can ask the DMV to put a hold or lien on the vehicle owner’s registration.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn, who introduced the proposal in 2018, agreed with the sentiment.
