Bay Area transit leaders hope low-income families will soon catch a break when it comes to paying tolls.
The program will apply to toll fees on Interstate 880 in Alameda County and will run for 18 months. After that, the program will be reevaluated.
Solo drivers enrolled in the Express Lanes START program will receive a 50 percent discount off the posted toll and two-person carpools will receive a 75 percent discount. All Express Lane customers in carpools with three or more people travel toll-free.
