[[File:FasTrak transponder.jpg|right|thumb|Mounted FasTrak transponder]]'''FasTrak''' is the electronic toll collection (ETC) system used in the state of [[California]] in the [[United States]]. It operates statewide on all [[Toll road|toll roads]], [[Toll bridge|toll bridges]], and [[High-occupancy toll lane|high-occupancy toll lanes]] that are part of the [[California Freeway and Expressway System]].

Like other ETC systems, FasTrak is designed to eliminate the need for vehicles to stop at toll booths, thereby reducing traffic congestion commonly associated with toll collection. Its implementation aligns with the [[United States Department of Transportation|U.S. Department of Transportation]]'s [[Intelligent Transportation Systems]] initiative.

California's toll facilities are decentralized and managed by various local public agencies and special-purpose districts, rather than being operated directly by the [[California Department of Transportation]] (Caltrans) or another centralized state agency. Concerned about the potential development of incompatible ETC systems, the [[California State Legislature]] passed [[Senate Bill 1523 (1990)|Senate Bill 1523]] in 1990. This legislation required Caltrans to develop a statewide ETC specification that all toll agencies were mandated to follow.<ref name="SB1523">{{cite web |title=Senate Bill 1523 |url=https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=199019900SB1523 |access-date=April 12, 2025 |website=California Legislative Information}}</ref><ref name="reasonOrg" />

In 1993, the [[Transportation Corridor Agencies]] opened the [[California State Route 241|Foothill Toll Road]] in [[Orange County, California|Orange County]], marking the first implementation of the standardized ETC system, which it branded as FasTrak. The state continues to delegate the responsibility for issuing and managing FasTrak accounts to individual toll agencies.

==Operations and functionality==
===Technology===
[[File:fastrak toll diagram.jpg|frame|'''Diagram of the FasTrak toll collection system''': As a vehicle enters the toll point, sensors (1) detect it and antennas (2) read the FasTrak transponder (3) on the vehicle. As the vehicle passes through the exit light curtain (4), a treadle (5) determines its axle count to calculate the correct toll, and the account is charged. A display (6) gives feedback to the driver. If no transponder is detected, cameras (7) photograph the license plate.]]FasTrak uses [[radio-frequency identification]] (RFID) technology operating at 915&nbsp;MHz to identify vehicles via a [[transponder]] mounted on the vehicle (typically to the windshield). As a vehicle passes through a toll point, antennas detect and read the transponder, and the system automatically deducts the toll from a prepaid account.

[[California Department of Transportation|Caltrans]] was given the mandate to develop and maintain an open, statewide ETC specification known as "Title 21" after it was added to Title 21 of the ''[[California Code of Regulations]]''.<ref name="reasonOrg" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Fiscal and Economic Analysis for Extending the Title 21 Protocol Sunset Date |url=https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/traffic-operations/documents/ca-toll/avi-reg-change/fiscal-econ-analysis-title-21-avi-sunset-ext-a11y.pdf |access-date=15 February 2025 |website=Caltrans |publisher=California Department of Transportation}}</ref> FasTrak transponders are compatible across California toll roads but not with out-of-state systems like [[E-ZPass]]. In 2018, the state began a transition to the national [[ISO/IEC 18000]]-63 (6C) standard to support future nationwide interoperability.<ref name="its2017">{{cite web |date=December 6, 2017 |title=California approves 6C electronic toll collection protocol |url=https://www.itsinternational.com/its8/its1/news/california-approves-6c-electronic-toll-collection-protocol |website=ITS International}}</ref>

If a transponder is not detected, cameras photograph the vehicle’s license plate and attempt to match it to a FasTrak account. If no account is found, either an invoice with no penalty (in locations supporting "pay by plate") or a violation notice is issued and mailed to the registered owner of the vehicle.<ref>{{cite web |title=I have a FasTrak toll tag, but I still received a violation notice in the mail.

=== Service center operations ===
All Bay Area toll facilities use a centralized billing and customer service system operated by the [[Bay Area Toll Authority]] (BATA).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mtc.ca.gov/about-mtc/authorities/bay-area-toll-authority-bata|title=Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA)|website=[[Metropolitan Transportation Commission (San Francisco Bay Area)|Metropolitan Transportation Commission]]|access-date=April 16, 2025}}</ref>

[[Transportation Corridor Agencies]], operator of the Orange County toll roads, also operates the billing and customer service system for the San Bernardino County high-occupancy toll lanes.<ref>{{cite press release |title=San Bernardino Customer Service Walk-In Center Opens in Preparation for Future SB Express Lanes on Interstate 10 |date=July 8, 2024 |publisher=[[Transportation Corridor Agencies]] |url=https://thetollroads.com/news/newsroom/san-bernardino-customer-service-walk-in-center-opens-in-preparation-for-future-sb-express-lanes-on-interstate-10/ |website=thetollroads.com}}</ref>

Although the [[91 Express Lanes]] is operated by both the [[Orange County Transportation Authority]] and the [[Riverside County Transportation Commission]], that facility uses a centralized billing and customer service system operated by the former.<ref>{{cite web |title=Account Agreement |url=https://www.91expresslanes.com/general-info/account-agreement/ |access-date=April 16, 2025 |website=The 91 Express Lanes}}</ref>

Some agencies "sell" (charge the initial prepaid toll deposit) transponders in a retail setting, such as [[Costco]] stores. Customers must still register their transponders with the issuing agency.<ref name="Bay Area Tags" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Retail Discounts |url=https://www.metroexpresslanes.net/offers-discounts/aaa-albertsons-costco/ |access-date=August 7, 2022 |website=Metro ExpressLanes |publisher=[[Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Get FasTrak |url=https://www.myfastrak.511sd.com/en/sign-up-landing |access-date=August 7, 2022 |publisher=[[San Diego Association of Governments]]}}</ref>

== History ==
After the first electronic toll collection (ETC) system in North America was implemented on the [[Dallas North Tollway]] in 1989, various toll agencies in California began expressing interest in similar systems. Given that toll roads and bridges in the state are managed by different government entities, there was concern about the potential emergence of multiple, incompatible ETC systems. To address this, the [[California State Legislature]] passed Senate Bill 1523 in 1990, directing the [[California Department of Transportation|California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)]] to create a standardized statewide technical specification for ETC systems.<ref name="reasonOrg">{{cite web |url=http://www.reason.org/ps149.html |title=Standardizing Electronic Toll Collection |access-date=April 27, 2006 |last=Halloran |first=James V.

The [[Foothill Toll Road]] in [[Orange County, California]] became the first toll facility in California to implement ETC when it opened in 1993. The [[Transportation Corridor Agencies]] (TCA), which manages the toll road, branded the system as "FasTrak".<ref>{{cite news |first=Cheryl |last=Downey |title=Tollway Officials Must Sell the Public on New Product |work=[[Orange County Register]] |page=A4 |date=October 4, 1993}}</ref> TCA still holds the trademark for the "FasTrak" name and logo.<ref>{{cite press release |author=Transportation Corridor Agencies |date=April 13, 2006 |url=http://www.thetollroads.com/home/news_press_april_06a.htm |title=Pilot Program Puts TCA FasTrak on Costco Shelves |publisher=Transportation Corridor Agencies |access-date=April 27, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060510115052/http://www.thetollroads.com/home/news_press_april_06a.htm |archive-date=May 10, 2006}}</ref>

[[File:FasTrak Orange County.jpg|thumb|right|Three-lane FasTrak site in Orange County]]

The original FasTrak transponder was a device about the size of a [[Walkman]], into which a [[smart card]] was inserted.<ref>{{cite news |first=Cheryl |last=Downey |title=Toll Tech: 4 Ways to Pay: Transportation: Video Enforcement Will Capture License Plates When Drivers Don't Pay on Foothill Toll Road |work=Orange County Register |page=B4 |date=August 13, 1993}}</ref> However, the device was costly to produce and the smart card offered little advantage to customers.<ref>{{cite news |first=Cheryl |last=Downey |title=County Tollway Officials Are Having Second Thoughts About Expensive Toll-Paying 'Smart Cards' |work=Orange County Register |page=C4 |date=July 29, 1994}}</ref> By 1995, when the [[91 Express Lanes]] opened, the transponders had been redesigned to be coaster-sized.<ref>{{cite news |first=Ernest E. |last=Pund |title=Highway 91 About to Take Its First Toll |work=The Press-Enterprise |location=Riverside, CA |page=A1 |date=December 24, 1995}}</ref>

FasTrak was subsequently deployed on the [[San Joaquin Hills Toll Road]] (1996), the [[Eastern Toll Road (California)|Eastern Toll Road]] (1998), and the high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes on [[Interstate 15 in California|Interstate 15]] in [[San Diego, California]] (1998).

[[File:Fastrak only (7730815530) (2).jpg|thumb|right|San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge toll plaza in 2008. Booths now display "FasTrak or Invoice" following the phaseout of cash payments.]]

Adapting FasTrak for California’s toll bridges required additional modifications, especially to handle 18 different toll classifications for trucks. After a trial at the [[Carquinez Bridge]] in 1996 revealed accuracy issues,<ref>{{cite news |first=Carl |last=Nolte |title=Automatic Tollbooth Technology Not Yet Ready for Prime Time |work=San Francisco Chronicle |page=A15 |date=September 23, 1996 |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/1996/09/23/MN47920.DTL |access-date=April 27, 2006}}</ref> improvements were made, before the bridge adopted FasTrak in 1997. Despite these developments, other state-run Bay Area toll bridges did not adopt the system until October 2000, due to bureaucratic and technical delays.<ref>{{cite news |first=Michael |last=Cabanatuan |title=All Bay Toll Spans Finally Going FasTrak |work=San Francisco Chronicle |page=A1 |date=October 5, 2000 |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2000/10/05/MN54417.DTL |access-date=April 27, 2006}}</ref> The independently managed [[Golden Gate Bridge]] introduced FasTrak a few months earlier in July 2000.

The [[San Diego-Coronado Bridge]] briefly used FasTrak before tolls were eliminated in 2002. In 2005, the Bay Area FasTrak Customer Center opened, consolidating services for regional bridges and the Golden Gate Bridge.<ref name="Bay Area FasTrak">{{cite press release |author=Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District |date=June 7, 2005 |title=June 7th Marks Grand Opening of New Regional FasTrak Customer Service Center in San Francisco |publisher=Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District |url=http://goldengate.org/news/items/FasTrakOpeningJune7-05.php |access-date=July 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060102004540/http://goldengate.org/news/items/FasTrakOpeningJune7-05.php |archive-date=January 2, 2006}}</ref>

FasTrak has since expanded to cover all new toll facilities in California, which are required by law to adopt the system. In 2009, [[San Francisco International Airport]] began accepting FasTrak in its parking garages.<ref>{{cite press release |first=Michael C. |last=McCarron |title=Easy Payment System Will Save Time and Help Reduce Emissions |publisher=[[San Francisco International Airport]] |date=May 15, 2009 |url=http://www.flysfo.com/web/page/about/news/pressrel/2009/sf0930.html |access-date=July 4, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100102060920/http://flysfo.com/web/page/about/news/pressrel/2009/sf0930.html |archive-date=January 2, 2010}}</ref>

The introduction of the [[Metro ExpressLanes project|Metro ExpressLanes]] in Los Angeles in 2012 led to the introduction of FasTrak Flex transponders with occupancy switches (1, 2, or 3+ riders), allowing automated toll calculations for carpools and solo drivers.<ref name="Metro ExpressLanes FAQ">{{cite web |author=Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority |url=http://www.metro.net/projects/expresslanes/faq/ |title=Metro ExpressLanes FAQ |access-date=July 6, 2012 |archive-date=June 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609081206/http://www.metro.net/projects/expresslanes/faq/}}</ref> TCA began issuing switchable transponders in 2013,<ref>{{cite web |author=Transportation Corridor Agencies |url=http://thetollroadsblog.com/2013/09/23/tca-switchable-transponders-now-available/ |title=TCA Switchable Transponders Now Available |date=September 23, 2013 |work=The Toll Roads Blog |access-date=July 5, 2015}}</ref> followed by the [[91 Express Lanes]] and the Bay Area in 2015.<ref name="Roadshow20150218" /><ref>{{cite web |author=Orange County Transportation Authority |url=http://www.octa.net/pdf/15X_022%2091X%20Newsletter%20-%20Spring%202015_LR.pdf |title=A Tale of Two Transponders: Standard and Switchable |work=91 Express Lanes Newsletter |date=Spring 2015 |access-date=July 5, 2015}}</ref>

The TCA introduced a sticker transponder in 2019 to replace the earlier plastic model. The new sticker transponders cost the agency less than $1 each, compared to approximately $20 for the plastic version. The lower cost enabled TCA to eliminate monthly account maintenance fees and the requirement for a prepaid deposit.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sticker |url=https://thetollroads.com/sticker |access-date=July 1, 2019 |publisher=[[Transportation Corridor Agencies]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |date=June 28, 2019 |title=FasTrak Replaces Hard-Case Transponders With Free Stickers For OC Drivers, Eliminates Fee |url=https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2019/06/28/fastrak-replaces-hard-case-transponders-with-free-stickers-for-oc-drivers-eliminates-fee/ |work=[[CBS Los Angeles]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Park |first=Jeong |date=June 7, 2019 |title=70¢ FasTrak stickers will replace $20 transponders, and TCA is mailing 15,000 of them daily |url=https://www.ocregister.com/2019/06/07/new-bandage-sized-fastrak-transponders-are-being-mailed-out-orange-county/ |newspaper=[[Orange County Register]]}}</ref>

In line with [[Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act|MAP-21]] all ETC systems nationwide were required to achieve interoperability by October 1, 2016. In response, California passed Assembly Bill 493 in 2013, enabling collaboration between Caltrans and toll agencies to comply with the mandate.<ref>{{cite web |author=California Legislature |date=August 12, 2013 |url=http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140AB493 |title=An Act to Amend Section 27565 of the Streets and Highways Code, Relating to Transportation}}</ref> California regulators later approved a phase-in of transponder technology using the [[ISO/IEC 18000]]-63 (6C) standard.

All eight toll bridges only collect tolls in one direction. All other toll facilities collect tolls in either direction, though some high-occupancy toll lane toll lanes exist in only one direction of their freeway in parts or the whole of their length.

''^'' indicates that carpools require the switchable "FasTrak Flex" transponder.<br />
''HOV&nbsp;2+'' indicates that carpools require '''two''' or more persons.<br />
''HOV&nbsp;3+'' indicates that carpools require '''three''' or more persons.<br />
''†'' indicates that two-person carpools are tolled differently than solo drivers or carpools with three or more, typically at a rate intermediate between the solo and 3+ rates
