As CBS Sacramento first reported in July, Caltrans wrapped up construction of a brand new express lane this summer in Vacaville that stretches down to Fairfield, where an existing HOV lane was converted to an express lane. The project took about a year and a half to complete.
CaltransCaltrans wants drivers who have been using the new lanes for free over the past few months to be aware that the changes are coming soon.
"Designed to enhance mobility through the heart of Solano County, the new express lanes will improve transit reliability and access for emergency response vehicles, and provide time savings and reliability for Solano County residents and others traveling through the county," an MTC spokesperson said in a statement.
Here is the breakdown of how the tolls are tallied, according to MTC:
Carpools with three or more people, vanpools, buses and motorcycles travel toll-free with a FasTrak Flex toll tag set to the "3+" position.Two-person carpools pay half-price tolls with a FasTrak Flex tag set to "2".Solo drivers may pay the full toll to use the Express Lanes with either a standard FasTrak toll tag or a FasTrak Flex tag set to the 1 position.How much will it cost? It depends on how far you drive and how heavy traffic is at that time.
The cost for one zone can range anywhere from 50 cents to $15. MTC told CBS Sacramento in July that those costs are, on average, relatively low.
This project is not just about Solano County bumper-to-bumper traffic. Caltrans is eyeing regionwide upgrades. Plans are already in the works for an express lane from Davis to Downtown Sacramento, as CBS13 has previously reported.
"We want to extend express lanes all the way into downtown Sacramento," said Vince Jacala, a Caltrans spokesperson.
