All drivers on the Interstate 95 EZ-Pass Express Lanes must have an EZ-Pass or EZ-Pass Flex electronic tolling transponder starting Monday.
Drivers who have ordered an EZ-Pass Flex and have not received it may sign up for a special one-week grace period with the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Here’s more in a press release:
Monday, December 29 and all carpoolers need an E-ZPass Flex to use the lanes toll-free. The carpool transition program will give regular carpoolers the opportunity to register for a week of HOV only, toll-exempt travel on the 95 Express Lanes if they have taken the necessary step of ordering their E-ZPass® FlexSM but have not yet received their transponder.
It can take up to seven days for carpoolers to receive their E-ZPass Flex when they order online or by calling Virginia E-ZPass at 877-762-7824. Carpoolers who indicate that they plan to carpool with three or more people on the 95 Express Lanes can register to be added to a seven-day HOV, toll-exempt travel list to ensure they can use the Express Lanes while they wait for their E-ZPass Flex to arrive.
Carpoolers may designate up to one license plate for each E-ZPass Flex transponder ordered. Customers who order an E-ZPass Flex by 5 p.m. will have their license plates registered for HOV only use on the 95 Express Lanes by 6 a.m. the following business day.
Carpoolers who wish to have their E-ZPass Flex in-hand sooner can visit one of 75 convenient Northern Virginia retail locations including Wegmans, select Virginia DMVs and Giant Food Stores, Tysons Corner Center or at E-ZPass Customer Service Centers.
The toll exemption applies to the 95 Express Lanes only – the 495 Express Lanes and other area toll roads are not part of this program.
The EZ-Pass Express Lanes on I-95 extend from Garrisonville Road in Stafford County to Edsall Road in Alexandria. The lanes will be tolled 24-hours per day, seven days a week.
