Peach Pass is anelectronic toll collection system in use in the U.S. state ofGeorgia, which is currently used primarily forhigh-occupancy toll lanes and express toll lanes onInterstate 75 (I-75),I-85, andI-575 in metropolitanAtlanta. Peach Pass can also be used on toll roads in Florida (SunPass), North Carolina (NC Quick Pass), and states that acceptsE-ZPass (full interoperability as of January 19th, 2024.)
In the future, the Peach Pass toll system is expected to incorporate additional proposed express toll lanes alongState Route 400 (SR 400) north ofI-285,I-20 east and west of I-285, I-75 between I-675 and I-285, and around the perimeter of I-285 between major activity centers surrounding Atlanta, with the intent of easing traffic congestion for suburban commuters traveling inside perimeter city limits during peak commuting times. The goal is to keep traffic moving consistently above 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) in the express lanes and help reduce traffic congestion in the free lanes as well.[1]
Peach Pass is anRFID transponder in the form of a sticker that drivers put inside their windshields. Customers may either open a Peach Pass account with a minimum deposit of $20 replenished by a major credit card or debit card,[2] or purchase a "Pay n GO!" Peach Pass at participatingCVS orWalgreens locations for $2.50 with an initial deposit of at least $20.[3]
Georgia's Peach Pass currently works with similar systems in Florida and North Carolina.[4]NationalPass users may use Georgia's facilities as well as those outside the state.[5] PeachPass was originally to be compatible with E-ZPass by 2021,[6] but that date has since been pushed to the 2nd quarter of 2022.[7] In July 2023, they expanded interoperability with the following E-ZPass states: Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, and Rhode Island. Peach Pass became fully interoperable with the E-ZPass system as of January 2024.[8]
The Peach Pass is the successor to the Georgia Cruise Card, which was used for electronic toll collection at the former toll plaza onSR 400 inBuckhead before tolls were removed in 2013.[9]
