TACOMA – The second Good To Go! customer service center will open its doors at 7:00 a.m. on Monday, June 4 at 2115 S. 56th St, Suite 306 in Tacoma. This site joins the Gig Harbor service center that opened in April to a steady stream of customers eager to establish their electronic toll accounts before the new Tacoma Narrows Bridge opens in July.
Over 17,000 customers have already signed up for Good To Go! and the opening of the second customer service center is designed to help Tacoma residents and workers easily apply for the program. “The majority of eastbound morning commuters cross the bridge for jobs in Tacoma, and we want to give them the choice of locations for setting up their accounts,” noted Good To Go! customer service manager Jessica Yasenchak. “We also know there are thousands of Tacoma residents who use the bridge on a fairly regular basis. Our goal is to meet the needs of drivers on both sides of the Narrows.”
On June 15, the new Tacoma customer service center will host the next Good To Go! sweepstakes drawing for a Year of Free Tolls and 30 gasoline cards. Entries include all electronic toll customers who established pre-paid personal accounts by June14. The drawing will be held Friday, June 15 at 2:00 p.m., with free coffee and cookies for those who attend. It is being conducted under the oversight of the Washington State Lottery.
The offering of this sweepstakes is designed to encourage customers to sign up early for Good To Go!. The sooner drivers establish accounts, the more chances they have to win. Drawings will be held on or around the 15th of each month from now through September. Details of the contest rules are available online at www.wsdot.wa.gov/goodtogo or by calling toll free (866) 936-8246.
Good To Go! is easy to get and use – and signing up only requires a minimum of $30 on the account that is valid for future toll use. Good To Go! uses a small transponder that adheres to the inside of a vehicle's windshield. An antenna mounted over the roadway detects the Good To Go! transponder and the system automatically debits the correct toll from the Good To Go! customer’s prepaid account, allowing the driver to maintain highway speeds. Customers can access their Good To Go! account information online at any time and will be sent monthly statements of activity by e-mail or mail.
You can sign up for Good To Go! online at www.wsdot.wa.gov/goodtogo, by calling toll free (866) 936-8246, faxing an application to (253) 853-4235 or by visiting one of the customer service centers located at 3212 50th Street Court, Suite 200, Gig Harbor or 2115 S. 56th St, Suite 306, Tacoma.
