Peach Pass is an electronic toll collection system in use by the U.S. state of Georgia and is expanding rapidly for congested highways around Atlanta. Peach Pass is fully interoperable with Florida's SunPass and E-PASS along with North Carolina's Quick Pass.

By 2018 most major highways leading into Atlanta will use Peach Pass. In the future the Peach Pass toll system is expected to be implemented around the perimeter of Interstate 285 (I-285) between major activity centers surrounding Atlanta. This will ease 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 Peach Pass lanes and help reduce traffic times for everyone.

Design

Peach Pass is a RFID Transponder in the form of a sticker that drivers put inside their windshields. Customers must open up a Peach Pass account with a minimum of $20.

Interoperability

Georgia's Peach Pass works with Florida and North Carolina. In early to mid-2018, Peach Pass will become interoperable with all toll-roads in Texas (EZ TAG, Toll Tag and TxTag).[1] NationalPass users may use Georgia's facilities as well as those outside the state.[2]

History

Before the Peach Pass the Cruise Card was used. The idea is to alleviate congestion on the toll plaza on US 19/SR 400.
