I-80 Solano Express Lanes to Begin Dynamic Tolling Dec. 16

MTC will use four-zone dynamic pricing requiring FasTrak tags to manage congestion.

Overview

  • Tolls start Dec. 16 across an 18-mile stretch between Red Top Road in Fairfield and I-505 in Vacaville in both directions.
  • Tolling will run daily from 5 a.m. to 8 p.m., including weekends, under Bay Area Infrastructure Financing Authority operations.
  • Rates will adjust with traffic, display on overhead signs for each of four zones, and drivers pay the price shown at entry even if it changes during the trip.
  • FasTrak is required; vehicles with three or more occupants, buses, vanpools, and motorcycles travel free with FasTrak Flex set to 3+, two-person carpools pay half with Flex set to 2, and solo drivers pay the full toll.
  • Drivers without FasTrak will receive a mailed bill with a reported $10 penalty, and the launch date could shift for weather or late technical issues.
