5508 Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) has launched a free mobile phone app it created for download on the iPhone and Android that it claims is the first of its kind in the US, allowing FasTrak account holders access to the same account and customer service features they find on The Toll Roads’ website.

FasTrak is a pre-paid electronic toll collection system that allows drivers to pay tolls automatically while travelling at highway speeds through designated lanes and is the only electronic toll collection system used in California. TCA operates The Toll Roads, the largest network of toll roads in the state, comprised of the 73, 133, 241 and 261 Toll Roads in Orange County, California.

The new mobile app offers FasTrak account holders complete access to their accounts wirelessly over the Internet from their smartphones. Users simply download the free app to view their account balance and make payments; edit account information; add or remove vehicles; view and request transponders; and plan their trip on The Toll Roads, along with other features.

“With this app, patrons can even add and remove rental vehicles from their accounts,” said Joyce Hill, deputy director of customer service. “This app is the first of its kind. And, we’re confident it will make our drivers’ experience with The Toll Roads even more convenient.”
