A Good To Go! pass will work at any tolled facility in the state.

SR 520 Bridge
SR 167 HOT Lanes
Tacoma Narrows Bridge

Good To Go! passes mounted on vehicles are read at highway speeds. When driving on a tolled facility, tolls are deducted from a pre-paid Good To Go! account. 

If you travel the SR 520 or Tacoma Narrows Bridges without a Good To Go! account, the registered vehicle owner will receive a bill in the mail about 14 days after traveling. If you crossed more than 14 days ago and haven't received a bill please call customer service at 1-866-936-8246.
    

SR 520 Bridge 

SR 520 bridge toll rate sign.

Tolling equipment mounted on the east high-rise of the SR 520 bridge automatically detects a Good To Go! pass or Pay By Plate account, and deducts the proper amount from a pre-paid account.

Vehicle owners who cross the SR 520 bridge without a Good To Go! account will receive a toll bill in the mail. Those who don’t pay within 15 days of receving their bill get a second bill with a $5 reprocessing fee. People with unpaid tolls receive a notice of civil penalty and a $40 fine in addition to the late fee for each toll left unpaid after 80 days.

SR 167 HOT Lanes

SR 167 HOT Lanes.

The SR 167 HOT Lanes are HOV (carpool) lanes open to solo drivers who choose to pay a toll. To use HOT lanes, solo drivers must install a Good To Go! pass in their vehicle. 

An electronic sign displays the current toll price at each HOT lane access point. Solo drivers pay one toll per trip for the amount displayed when they first enter the HOT lane.

If you are a Good To Go! customer and plan on using the HOT lanes as a carpool, you should consider a switchable or movable pass that can be removed or turned on and off depending on the number of people in the car. Good To Go! sticker passes cannot be disabled and customers will be charged a toll even when carpooling in the HOT lanes.
