Southern California’s Transportation Corridor Agencies this week announced it has released version 1.2 of The Toll Roads App, now enhanced with a feature that allows users to establish a FasTrak account completely from their mobile device or tablet. The free app provides FasTrak accountholders with access to all of the customer service and account features available on The Toll Roads’ website.
Another benefit: through November 30, drivers who use The Toll Roads App to sign up for a new FasTrak account and enter the code “Mobile30” will have $30 in tolls instantly credited to the new account. The promotion is designed to give new customers the opportunity to take The Toll Roads account for a free trial run.
“The updated mobile app makes The Toll Roads experience even more convenient and user-friendly by enabling FasTrak membership account sign-up in the palm of your hand,” said Neil Peterson, chief executive officer of the TCA. “Now it will be even easier for Southern California drivers to experience the time-saving benefits of FasTrak.”
In May 2012, The Toll Roads became the first toll road operator in the U.S. to offer an app managing toll accounts. The app currently has over 44,000 users connecting drivers to the FasTrak prepaid electronic toll collection system using designated lanes. TCA operates the largest network of toll roads in California – The Toll Roads – made up of State Routes 73, 133, 241 and 261 in Orange County.
