you see displayed on the overhead electronic sign just before you enter the MnPASS lane will apply to <br />your trip. Your fee will not change no matter how many times the display changes during your trip. <br />Can I ever be tolled by accident if I drive next to the MnPASS lane? <br />The MnPASS system is exceptionally specific regarding which customers are driving in the MnPASS <br />Express Lanes and which customers have chosen to take the main road. The key to this specification lies <br />in two components; the transponder in a customer's vehicle and the readers mounted at each entrance to <br />the MnPASS Express Lanes. Our readers are tested weekly to ensure that they read only those <br />transponders present in the lane. Each transponder is tested thoroughly before it ever reaches a <br />customer to ensure that it will be read correctly. If an error does occur, please contact our Customer <br />Service Center. A MnPASS representative will determine what happened and reverse fees as needed. If <br />necessary, a replacement transponder can be provided. <br />What does it mean when the sign shows two prices? <br />There are two segments of the 1-394 MnPASS Lane; the segment west of Hwy 100 and the reversible <br />section east of Hwy 100 into downtown Minneapolis. If you travel the first segment to Hwy 100, you will <br />pay the first price you see posted. If you use both sections of the road, you will pay the full trip price <br />posted on the bottom of the sign. You do not add the two numbers together. <br />Likewise, there are two segments of the 1-35W MnPASS Lane; the diamond lane south of 1-494 and the <br />Northbound Shoulder Lane beginning at 38th Street. When traveling northbound, you will see two prices <br />posted. If you only use the diamond lane, you will only pay the first price posted. If you continue from the <br />diamond lane into the shoulder lane, you will pay the full trip price posted at the bottom of the sign. Again, <br />you do not add the two numbers together to determine the cost of your fee. You only pay one of the listed <br />prices for your trip. <br />The price for one section of the road varies between $0.25 and $8. The average fee during peak period is <br />between $1 and $4. <br />What does it mean when the sign says OPEN? <br />When the sign reads "OPEN," anyone with or without a transponder can use the MnPASS Express Lane <br />without being charged a fee. <br />What are the hours of operation on the 1-35W lanes? <br />The tolled hours of the lane will depend on the section of the road. <br />• Northbound from Crystal Lake Road to Hwy 62 is tolled from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. <br />• Northbound from Hwy 62 to downtown is tolled from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. <br />• Southbound from 42nd Street to 1-494 is tolled from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. <br />• Southbound from 1-494 to Hwy 13 is tolled from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. <br />During off-peak hours the road is not tolled and the lane is open to all traffic. The exception on 1-35W is <br />the northbound section from around 42nd Street to downtown. This section of the road there will be a <br />shoulder lane that will always be tolled whenever it is open. <br />What are the hours of operation on the 1-394 lanes? <br />
