FasTrak® Electronic Toll Collection (ETC)

FasTrak ETC usage on the bridges has experienced a generally upward trend with each passing month. As of January 2011, 53 percent of the total traffic passing through the toll plazas use the ETC system, with this share jumping above 65 percent during the weekday peak.

Currently, all lanes on all bridges are equipped with the FasTrak equipment. All of the bridges have at least one lane dedicated to FasTrak® use with dedicated lanes handling almost three times as many vehicles per hour as a lane in which tolls are collected manually.

During the summer of 2007 BATA added more dedicated FasTrak lanes at five of the seven state-owned toll bridges and opened two open road tolling lanes at the Benicia Toll Plaza.
