I applied online earlier today, let’s see how long it takes them to get back to me and ask me for my money.

Does this allow you to use the FasTrak HOV lanes for free? i.e., can you set the FasTrak transponder to 3 passengers even though you might be the only one driving?

Just came back from a business trip and my new fastrak transponder was waiting for me, so I’m finally set. I used the PPF protectors to mount the decals just now and feel “OK” about how they look (gotta admit, if it weren’t for the saved commute time, I wouldn’t be doing it), but am now trying to recall where I can mount the transponder in the windshield - I think I need to avoid the dotted area around the rear view mirror, can anyone confirm?

I’m petty sure the dotted area is actually where transponders are supposed to go.

Awesome - thanks Sisyrx - I tried the manual, but as is often the case, couldn’t find the right search term.

I feel ya. I struggled with the search terms to find that for you! I knew I had seen it (and read about on iX forums) but had to find the right term.

so when the HOA lanes turn to pay or go over bridges just get bill to account. Or does the sticker wave the fees? I have a fasttrax for when im in LA/OC. I always have my ride or die partner with me but some areas only Fastrx allowed. when was in Bay Area it billed my Golden State bridge fee. Maybe they got it from my plate number since my transponder was in glovebox |

I guess you’re right if you’re single and right on the HOV on fast track, the charges are pretty high

You need a fastrak to cross the bay bridge in the other lanes anyway, the HOV lanes bypass the metering lights and the massive backup. |

There are certainly good things about California living but looking at this thread speaks volumes about the challenges you deal with on a daily basis….
