Requesting an exemption or disputing a toll
Exemptions or disputes (for example, government vehicle exemptions, tolling errors, or documented emergencies) must be requested using the process the tolling authority publishes. If you believe a charge is incorrect, submit the dispute form or written request as instructed on the notice or official portal. Deadlines and required evidence are set by the issuing agency.
- Submit a written dispute or exemption request with supporting documents (photos, receipts, permits) by the deadline on the notice.
- Retain copies of all communications and proof of mailing or submission.
