To ensure toll-free travel, set your transponder to switch position 3 (3+ person carpool) prior to starting your trip. All vehicles, including Clean Air Vehicles, are required to have a FasTrak® transponder while traveling on the ExpressLanes. So you can't use it on any of your other cars, only your Tesla, or another EV.Įffective February 24, 2014, vehicles displaying a DMV issued White or Green Clean Air Vehicle Decal Clean Air Vehicle (CAV) Decals - High Occupancy Vehicle HOV Lane Usage Note that you can ONLY use this transponder in a ZEV. This is great if you ever use that freeway.
110 freeway express lane rules free#
It gives various groups, including zero-emission vehicles, free passes on 91 express lane any time other than Eastbound 4-6pm on weekdays (for which you get 50% off).
Go to this page to get the application for the 91 Express Lane Special Access Program: If you're not from LA/OC and have an express lane on your local freeway, you should look into this, because it's likely that there is a similar program available - since a CA law was passed saying carpool lanes must allow ZEVs free access even after they get converted to express lanes (as happened with the 110 and 10).Īnyway, If you get a 91 Express Lanes transponder ($40, though the transponder is "free" as those $40 get added to your account, which you can use on other toll roads like the 73), and ask them for a switchable transponder instead of a normal one, you can use it on your Tesla to get free access to the 91/110/10 express lanes, and any future carpool lanes which get converted into express lanes (per CA law). I don't know if there's any analogue for norcal, but in the LA/OC area, this will be very useful for a lot of people.
It was suggested during this last meetup that I post this information here for everyone, since some people don't know about it.
