To pay a FasTrak toll invoice for a Bay Area bridge, use the Make a Payment page on bayareafastrak.org with a credit or debit card, call 877-BAY-TOLL (877-229-8655), mail a check, or pay at a cash payment location. Invoices are due within 30 days. If you hold a FasTrak account instead, your record is the monthly or quarterly statement, sent by email or by mail for a fee.

How Bay Area toll invoices arrive

A crossing goes to invoice when the car has neither a FasTrak toll tag nor a License Plate Account. FasTrak mails the first invoice to the registered owner after that first crossing, then bills later crossings monthly, with the period starting on the date of the first trip. State-owned bridges and the Golden Gate Bridge are billed on separate monthly invoices. Two bills for one month is normal.

Ways to pay an invoice

  • Online: the Make a Payment page, by credit or debit card.
  • Phone: 877-BAY-TOLL (877-229-8655), a 24-hour automated line. From outside the U.S., +1-415-486-8655.
  • Mail: a check with the invoice number written on it, to FasTrak Invoices, PO Box 26879, San Francisco, CA 94126.
  • In person: any FasTrak cash payment location.

Violation notices and the first-time waiver

An invoice left unpaid past its due date becomes a violation notice with penalties added. For a first violation, FasTrak waives the penalty if you open a FasTrak account before the payment due date: the unpaid toll is taken from the new account and only the penalty disappears. You can backdate the account start by up to 30 days so the crossing lands on it. To contest a notice you think is wrong, use Pay or Resolve a Violation with your violation number.

Account statements instead of invoices

FasTrak keeps a record of every toll and your balance. Create a username and password to see it online, or call the automated line with your account number and PIN or ZIP code. Statements can come monthly or quarterly by email, or by U.S. mail for a fee. FasTrak notes that invoices only cover bridge tolls and are not recommended for commercial or rental vehicles, which makes a tag or License Plate Account the better fit for a business car.

FasTrak statements without the chase

Bridge tolls are small, frequent and easy to miss at month end. Connect your FasTrak login and our AI agent signs in and saves each statement through bill fetching. If you picked email statements, email receipt capture files them from your inbox, and each crossing can be coded to the client or trip on an expense report.
