WSDOT reinstates unpaid toll late fees and penalties

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will begin charging late fees and penalties for unpaid toll bills on March 1.

Pay By Mail customers with unpaid tolls from June 2021 will be charged late fees again, starting at the beginning of March, acting WSDOT communications manager Chris Foster said in a February 1 press release.

Drivers with an unpaid toll that has a due date before March 1 will be charged with a $5 late fee. Drivers with an unpaid toll that was already charged the $5 late fee will receive a $40 penalty for each unpaid toll. 

WSDOT encourages people to make a payment as soon as possible. The department has a one-time penalty forgiveness program to waive fees and penalties if the original toll is paid.

Those unsure if they have an unpaid toll bill can contact Good To Go! at 866/936-8246 and provide their name, license plate number and the address on their vehicle registration. For more information on managing a WSDOT account, visit bit.ly/3lbUuhe.
