Over 120 toll booths now offer the online pass.

You must live within about 12 miles (20 kilometres) of the booth.

The pass lets you travel unlimited times through that booth each month.

The system uses a phone app and government digital records to verify you.

📖

If you live close to a toll booth, you can ask for a monthly pass online and drive through many times. 🚙

The app checks your home address and car details using safe government records, so no papers are needed. ✅

Now more than one hundred toll booths across the country have this easy digital pass. 🌟
