Replying to: rogerbohl (Sep 20, 2006 12:21 pm) all that said, i submitted my application with a letter that spelled out what Fastrak told me, citing the manager's names, as well as an individual at DMV that was able to help another CNG customer out, as well as a big fat note to supply me with the silver stickers, and not yellow by mistake. i'll write more once i've actually received the stickers (if i ever do!) epi edit: yes, bay area.

Replying to: rogerbohl (Sep 20, 2006 1:38 pm) I was under the impression if I drove up there I would have to pay. So maybe I will just put my transponder in a mylar bag and go for it. Down here in So CA we get no breaks on the tollroads, hopefully that will change.

Replying to: stohl2 (Sep 21, 2006 10:55 am) back to the whole bridge tolls/ fastrak topic: (again, w/out legislative proof) ... i was told by 2 separate fastrak managers that there were no tolls, and therefore no 'special transponder' or use of hybrid transponder. however, they both said there was some confusion on the topic b/c it is such a low occurance request. but i feel the existance of two separate color stickers would support separate benefits ... and what else would there be than tolls? can't wait to find out for certain! but just throwing more speculation out there ... where are all the bay area NGV drivers at? they should know. epi |

Replying to: rst (Sep 22, 2006 6:03 pm) meanwhile, on the PG&E website, they list a number of incentives for NGVs, with free bridges being one of them. until i get the letter from honda, i printed this sheet out from PG&E and keep it in my glove box. i have spoken to Fastrak and the DMV so many times that my head hurts thinking about it, and after all the talking, i've distilled three things: 1) nobody talks to eachother in these organizations  2) there is no bridge toll for the GX during carpool hours (you must have the stickers) 3) there is no 'special' transponder or need to have a hyrid transponder. you may choose to have Fastrak for times in which you are outside of carpool hours, but having a hybrid version is mute as you'll never be using the flyover outside of carpool hours. i received my stickers w/out a fastrak acct open for this car, but DID include a lengthy letter 'enlightening' them to these facts. i also put my phone number and demanded they call me if there is still confusion, rather than mailing it back to me 2 wks later. it worked. i see several GXs up here on my commute ... haven't you folks done the leg work on this long ago?? what was your results?? epi
