Both methods ensure proper and timely payment for the use of the toll roads in Utah.

Ut-9, or State Route 9, is a state highway in southern Utah, serving Zion National Park. There is a fee to travel through Zion National Park, but the Zion-Mt.

== Can Express Lane on I-15 Utah be used without transponders ==
+
<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #a2a9b1; padding-bottom: 2px;">Planning Your Journey</h2>
−
To use the Express Lane on I-15 in Utah, a transponder is mandatory, except for carpoolers. Carpooling vehicles, defined as those with two or more occupants, do not incur toll charges and are not required to have a transponder. However, if you are the sole occupant of the vehicle, it is necessary to use an Express Lane transponder when utilizing the I-15 Express Lane. Cash payments are not accepted for tolls in the Express Lane.
