Man, wish I qualified. I bought a used 2018 Leaf, but apparently you can't renew the CAV sticker or some stupid thing. So yeah, I have a CAV but cannot get many of the benefits. Frown

Isn't the 50% discount specific to the HOV times? or is it at any time?

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Fastrak is a stable of poor customer service.

They will even mess something up on their end, make you pay a DMV registration hold, then make you call 5-6 times over the next 6 months to resolve it.

Many tricks including get you off the phone saying it has been fixed but now that there are like 7 agencies they just send you back and forth between the agencies too!

The discount is only applicable when HOA times are enforced. That means weekends and off peak times are not valid.

And I really hated fasttack. 680 always has issue with scanning my toll tag and will charge me. 880 has no issue. If you have fast track, I recommend check the balance regularly. If the charges are based on license plate number, that means you could be charged even though if you multiple occupants.

50% off is amateur hour in the bay.

Replace your license plate with a fake temp plate that was clearly printed at home for 100% off:

Now that's a slick deal.
Instructions unclear. Don't see link to printable template.

I'm so thankful I just work from home most of the time. If I do go to the office, I just take VTA light rail and my employer gives $150 a month through commuterbenefits.com.

Valid for 3 years in my case. Cannot be renewed. 50% off bridge toll during carpool hours. Fastrak no discount.

It is ridiculous that they require the original decals certificate since the decals when applied asks for license numbers as well. They should have this in the database.
