Drivers pay tolls in the southbound direction, on the south end of the bridge. Note that tolls for the Golden Gate Bridge are different from tolls for state-owned bridges. Additional toll tags you order may require a security deposit. When the Customer Service Center receives a toll tag back from you, your security deposit will be refunded. Like the FasTrak Flex toll tag, the FasTrak CAV also has a three-position switch to signal whether you are traveling alone or as a carpool. The FasTrak CAV toll tag is required for discounted single-occupant CAV travel on Bay Area Express Lanes.

Where can I use my FasTrak transponder?

FasTrak recommends that you use certified or registered mail to ensure delivery. If you wish, you can put the toll tag into the mail without an envelope or postage. The mailing address is already printed on the toll tag and the post office will deliver the toll tag to the FasTrak Customer Service Center.

Mounting an Exterior Toll Tag

You can attach the exterior toll tag on the front bumper, either above or below the license plate, using the tamper-resistant screws and unique wrench that come with the exterior toll tag. After mounting the toll tag, keep the wrench in a secure place for future adjustment or removal.
