Peach Pass


Peach Pass is an electronic toll collection system in use in the U.S. state of Georgia, which is currently used primarily for high-occupancy toll lanes and express toll lanes on Interstate 75, I-85, and I-575 in metropolitan Atlanta. Peach Pass can also be used on toll roads in Florida and North Carolina where SunPass, E-PASS, and NC Quick Pass are permitted, and vice versa; the system is not currently compatible with E-ZPass, which is interoperable with the latter two systems.
In the future the Peach Pass toll system is expected to incorporate additional proposed express toll lanes along State Route 400 north of I-285, I-20 east and west of I-285, I-75 between I-675 and I-285, and around the perimeter of I-285 between major activity centers surrounding Atlanta, with the intent of easing traffic congestion for suburban commuters traveling inside perimeter city limits during peak commuting times. The goal is to keep traffic moving consistently above in the express lanes and help reduce traffic congestion in the free lanes as well.

Design

Peach Pass is an RFID transponder in the form of a sticker that drivers put inside their windshields. Customers may either open a Peach Pass account with a minimum deposit of $20 replenished by a major credit card or debit card, or purchase a "Pay n GO!" Peach Pass at participating CVS or Walgreens locations for $2.50 with an initial deposit of at least $20.

Interoperability

Georgia's Peach Pass currently works with similar systems in Florida and North Carolina. It is planned that Peach Pass will become interoperable with all toll-roads in Texas in the future. NationalPass users may use Georgia's facilities as well as those outside the state. PeachPass will become compatible with E-ZPass in 2021.

History

The Peach Pass is the successor to the Georgia Cruise Card, which was used for electronic toll collection at the former toll plaza on US 19/SR 400 in Buckhead before tolls were removed in 2013.
