READY FOR DMV
- MISSED A TOLL SPIEL
- "I'm seeing in my end, a MISSED A TOLL trip dated ________________. To avoid any penalties or additional fees, the best way is to settle your payment with us now. Would you like to settle your payment?"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RESOLVE
Charged With EL Fee
"We understand mistakes happen. Our team works with the Virginia Department of Transportation to make sure the Express Lanes are clearly marked. It’s best to deal with payment sooner rather than later. To avoid any penalties or additional fees, you can take care of the balance here with me now." "In the future, please keep an eye out for the purple and white signs leading up to and on the Express Lanes. Unlike traditional toll roads, our Lanes don’t have toll booths or the option to pay in cash. That means you must have an E-ZPass account to use them."
More Than 7 Feet Vehicle
- "To provide a smooth driving experience, the 3x rate applies to vehicles taller than 7 feet in height. This includes most tall passenger vans, commercial vans, 2-axle large box trucks, and flatbed trucks on the 495, 95 and 395 Express Lanes."
- "Signage on the roadway informs travelers a higher rate will be charged for larger vehicles. Larger rides like box trucks can weigh a lot more than regular passenger vehicles. Those extra pounds do more damage to the road that we maintain. To help make sure we can continue to give all our customers a great travel experience, we charge larger vehicles a different rate. The vast majority of customers drive personal passenger vehicles that are under 7 feet and pay the standard toll."
============================
None EZ Pass
- To prepare for your future travel on the Express Lanes. You can open an E-Z Pass account or sign up for Missed a toll email notification.
============================
VA EZ Pass
- As a Virginia E-Z Pass account holder, you can also contact your E-ZPass agency to sign up for a range of email and text notifications about your account. In addition, please ensure the transponder is properly mounted, there are sufficient funds on the account, all license plate numbers are linked, auto-replenishment is active, and the address is updated with the DMV.
=============================
ADMIN FEE
- The administrative fee applies to all toll invoices, no matter the toll amount. The fee is not a penalty. Instead, it’s used to offset the costs of recovering the unpaid toll, including image review technology and invoicing.
INCREASE
- The fee(s) cover the resources needed to locate and contact the driver. If we have to send multiple invoices, the fees may increase. It is important to make sure your info is up to date with DMV to avoid delays.
==============================
CONGESTION
-
Thank you for contacting us. I certainly understand your concern. When there’s congestion or a major delay, we use the electronic signs leading up to and on the Express Lanes to communicate with customers. That way, you always know what to expect and have plenty of time if you want the option of taking an alternate route.
-
If the customer is an E-ZPass Customer, add the following: Given the circumstances, I’ll go ahead and reverse the charges. [$X.XX] will be returned to your E-ZPass account within 3-5 business days. This is one-time courtesy.
-
If the customer is a Non E-ZPass, add the following: Given the circumstances, I’ll go ahead and reverse the charges. [$X.XX] will be returned to your bank account within 7-10 days. I can only do this once. In the future, if you decide to use the Express Lanes, the charges can’t be reversed. ===========================
AFFIDAVIT
-
Thanks for contacting us. I certainly understand your concern. You received an invoice because your vehicle was seen traveling the Express Lanes on [Insert Date] without paying the toll.
-
If you were not the person behind the wheel, here’s what you can do: Submit an Affidavit of Non-Liability, saying [the vehicle was sold, the vehicle/license plate was reported lost /stolen, you were not the driver] during the trip(s) in question. Please note: the affidavit must be notarized before you return it. To fast track the process, you can fax the completed paperwork to (571) 419-6001 or email it to customercare@expresslanes.com.

If the customer is an E-ZPass Customer, add the following: Do you know about our free Express Lanes mobile app? The app helps you plan your travel and allows you to view real-time traffic cameras across both the regular lanes and Express Lanes. I highly recommend downloading the app.
Also, might be worth checking out a few things with your E-ZPass.
• Is it mounted properly?
• Is your E-ZPass account funded?
• Are all license plate numbers linked?
• Do you have auto-replenishment setup for the account?

DYNAMIC PRICING
-
We are happy to explain to you how our pricing works. Like Uber and Lyft, we use dynamic pricing. That’s why toll prices may change throughout the day, based on traffic patterns and customer demand. Toll prices are listed on the white and purple signs leading up to and on the Express Lanes, so drivers always know what to expect.
-
If a customer pushes for more information about how the system works, reply with: Dynamic pricing is designed to keep drivers moving on the Express Lanes. The system considers car density, speed and numerous other factors – all at the same time.
-
If a customer pushes about how high pricing can get, reply with: Our team has an agreement with the Commonwealth of Virginia, to keep the Lanes flowing so there is not a stated price cap.
=============================
