FasTrak is a prepaid electronic toll system that Bay Area commuters use to avoid having to wait in line for toll booths and dig through their wallets and cars for cash. Instead, a transponder on the car's or motorcycle's windshield sends a signal to an overhead antenna and the driver can cruise on through the toll plaza, assuming traffic is moving at cruise speed.

FasTrak is available on eight Bay Area bridges:

  • Bay Bridge
  • Golden Gate Bridge
  • Antioch Bridge
  • Benicia-Martinez Bridge
  • Carquinez Bridge
  • Richmond-San Rafael Bridge
  • Dumbarton Bridge
  • San Mateo Hayward Bridge

FasTrak can also be used to pay for parking at SFO Airport, and perhaps others.
