- Customers must pay the toll bill on or before the due date.
- If a toll bill is not paid on time, it will be subject to a $5 late fee on the second toll bill. If the tolls owed remain unpaid after two toll bills are mailed, they will be subject to a violation fee of $50 for each unpaid toll. Please pay toll bills on time to avoid these fees.
- Persistent unpaid violations may result in civil penalties and/or vehicle registration suspension.
