How a business account works

Once your account is set up, you can log in to your account maintenance and specify the number of business account charge cards you would like to receive. These cards will be mailed to the account manager and may be distributied to your employees as needed. Employees may use these cards to pay for any fare or multi-ride product available at  vehicle and passenger tollbooths.

Payment

Each month we will send you an invoice via email.

• The invoice will display all account activity including any charges, payments and adjustments if applicable.
• Invoices for these accounts are payable by check only.
