Toll Facility Ordinance
MTC most recently amended its Toll Facility Ordinance, on Sept. 23, 2020, with the amendment taking effect Oct. 23, 2020. The amendment established the express lane tolling policy for MTC’s I-680 Express Lane Extension (southbound from Martinez through Walnut Creek), which will join up with MTC’s existing I-680 Express Lanes (southbound from Walnut Creek to Dublin), creating a continuous 23-mile express lane in Contra Costa County. The I-680 Express Lane Extension began tolling in August 2021.
