ATLANTA — Peach Pass customers can now drive on Florida and North Carolina toll roads without having to stop at toll booths or receive a separate bill in the mail.
The State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) announced Wednesday that Georgia Peach Pass travelers, Florida “SunPass” travelers and North Carolina “Quick Pass” travelers will all be able to use toll facilities in each other’s state and that the bill will automatically deduct from their home state account.
In order to take advantage of the new benefit, officials said Pay n GO! Peach Pass customers in Georgia must convert their account to a personal toll account. Peach Pass holders must also register their license plates on the account.
“Today marks a significant achievement for tolling in the southeast region of the United States, and Georgia is proud to be a part of it,” said Christopher Tomlinson, executive director of the State Road and Tollway Authority in Georgia.“Through this enhanced Peach Pass benefit, Georgia motorists can enjoy their travels to Florida and North Carolina without stopping to pay at toll booths or paying a separate higher priced video bill. Peach Pass customers will receive the same toll rate as SunPass and NC Quick Pass customers instead of the higher cash toll rates charged in both states.”
Officials said the toll roads in Florida and North Carolina began working together in July 2013, and that led the way for Georgia to join the partnership this fall.
“We are pleased to see the strong collaboration between the three states to provide this significant benefit to the driving public,” said Keith Golden, commissioner of the Georgia DOT and SRTA board member.
