These FasTrak transponders require opening an ExpressLanes account with Metro that typically cost $40 to $75. Unfortunately, you can’t have tolls without having a way to charge that toll, that’s why everyone who uses the lanes must have a FasTrak Transponder (the white squares you’ll see in windshields), even though high-occupancy vehicles can still use the lanes toll-free. If you are driving with 2+ or 3+ (depending on the signs) people in your car, you qualify as HOV, change a setting on the FasTrak transponder and you drive free - no toll. If you are a solo driver, then you pay a toll through your ExpressLanes account (the FasTrak transponder keeps track of when you are in the lanes). What were once purely HOV lanes (High Occupancy Vehicles) on the 110 and 10 Freeways are now “Express Lanes.” What are Express Lanes? Special lanes of traffic that require a FasTrak Transponder to use. This is tricky to explain because in order to sell this idea to the public it became a very confusing government program. You’ve seen the freeway signs: Express Lanes are LA Metro’s idea to make money off plain-old HOV lanes¹.
