Yes—California Highway 73 is a toll road!
You can pay your tolls using a prepaid FasTrak account, which requires you to keep a tag on your windshield. Or, you can pay online or via The Toll Roads app. After passing through a toll reader, your license plate will be recorded and the fees will be assessed automatically.
Route 73 begins at I-5 in the south and ends with I-405 in the north. You’ll pay a maximum of $9 for a one-way trip if you pay online or via The Toll Roads app. The following fees apply if you have a FasTrak account:
Morning/evening peak period: $8.24
Morning/evening peak hour: $9
Shorter routes may cost you less money—or even nothing at all. For exact rates, you can use Orange County’s toll roads calculator online.
If you end up paying $18 a day in tolls for your commute, you’ll definitely need to cut those costs from elsewhere. To save money on California car insurance
