The '''Adams Avenue Parkway'''<ref>[http://adamsavenueparkway.com/aap_004.htm The Adams Avenue Parkway]</ref> is the only toll road running across the state of Utah. It connects US-89 to I-84 near Washington Terrace, Utah. The toll road allows commuters to bypass the rest of US-89 through Washington Terrace to I-84. 2-axle cars pay $1.00 toll to use the toll road.

 +
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, you don't need Express Pass to drive in Utah - most roads are toll-free. However, you'll need Express Pass to use the I-15 Express Lanes as a solo driver, and cash or ExpressCard for the Adams Avenue Parkway.</p>
 +
 +
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Utah has minimal toll infrastructure compared to other states. Only the I-15 Express Lanes (60+ miles) and Adams Avenue Parkway (0.5 miles) charge tolls. Carpoolers (2+ occupants) use Express Lanes for free.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Clean Vehicle Pass program expires September 30, 2025. Express Pass costs $9.65 initially with $2.50 monthly maintenance fee. Most Utah highways remain completely toll-free.</p>
