<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.

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No — most of Utah is toll-free. However, you need an Express Pass to use the I-15 Express Lanes as a solo driver (carpoolers with 2+ occupants ride free). The Adams Avenue Parkway accepts cash and its own ExpressCard.</p>

Utah Toll Roads Complete Guide

System: Limited — Express Pass (I-15 Express Lanes, dynamic pricing) + cash/ExpressCard (Adams Avenue Parkway)
Coverage: I-15 Express Lanes (Riverdale to Spanish Fork, 60+ miles) + Adams Avenue Parkway (0.5 miles, Washington Terrace)
Currency: US Dollar (USD)
Technology: Express Pass transponders, dynamic pricing, license plate recognition
Operators: UDOT (I-15 Express Lanes); Adams Avenue Parkway Inc.

Do I Need Express Pass for Utah? 2026 Update

No — most of Utah is toll-free. However, you need an Express Pass to use the I-15 Express Lanes as a solo driver (carpoolers with 2+ occupants ride free). The Adams Avenue Parkway accepts cash and its own ExpressCard.

Key Reality: Utah has minimal toll infrastructure compared to most states. The I-15 Express Lanes span 60+ miles through Salt Lake and Utah counties; all other Utah interstates and highways are toll-free.

2026 Update: The Clean Vehicle (EV/hybrid) free pass program expired September 30, 2025 — EVs and hybrids now pay standard Express Lane tolls as solo drivers. Express Pass initial cost is $9.65 (includes $2.50 setup; $2.50/month maintenance fee). Carpoolers (2+ occupants) continue to use Express Lanes for free with a valid Express Pass set to HOV mode. E-ZPass is not accepted.

Utah Toll Costs: Current Rates (2026)

Facility Solo Driver Carpool (2+ occupants) Payment
I-15 Express Lanes (per segment) $0.25–$8.00 dynamic FREE (Express Pass required in HOV mode) Express Pass transponder required
Adams Avenue Parkway $0.50 (cash) / $0.40 (ExpressCard) Same rate Cash or Adams Ave. ExpressCard

I-15 Express Lanes pricing is dynamic — rates adjust every few minutes based on traffic demand to maintain free-flowing speeds. Higher prices during peak congestion periods. Minimum $0.25 per segment; maximum $8.00 per segment.

To calculate toll costs across Utah toll facilities, use the TollGuru Utah toll calculator:

How to Pay Utah Tolls

1. Express Pass (I-15 Express Lanes — required for solo drivers):

  • RFID transponder with HOV/toll toggle switch; $9.65 initial cost ($2.50 setup + $7.15 toll credit)
  • $2.50/month maintenance fee; cancel and return transponder for refund
  • Set to HOV mode for carpools (2+ occupants) to ride free
  • E-ZPass and other out-of-state tags are not accepted
  • Account management at udot.utah.gov/expresslanes

2. Adams Avenue Parkway ExpressCard / Cash:

  • Short 0.5-mile private toll road in Washington Terrace; accepts cash ($0.50) or its own ExpressCard ($0.40)
  • Not connected to the UDOT Express Pass system

Recent Changes (2026)

  • Clean Vehicle Pass program expired (September 30, 2025): EVs and hybrids no longer receive free Express Lane travel; they now pay standard dynamic pricing as solo drivers
  • I-15 Express Lanes extension: Ongoing extensions in Utah County; additional segments in planning phase
  • No new toll roads planned: Utah's major interstates (I-80, I-84, I-70, US-6) remain toll-free

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use E-ZPass in Utah?

No. Utah's I-15 Express Lanes use UDOT's own Express Pass system. E-ZPass transponders are not accepted.

Can I avoid Utah tolls?

Yes, easily. The I-15 Express Lanes run alongside free general-purpose lanes — simply use the regular lanes. All Utah interstates and highways outside the express lane system are completely toll-free.

Do motorcycles pay Utah Express Lane tolls?

Motorcycles with an Express Pass set to HOV mode ride free regardless of occupancy. Motorcycles without Express Pass can still use the Express Lanes at the standard toll rate via license plate billing.
