SH 288 Managed Lanes Project FAQs

Toll rates are based on the day of the week, time of day, type of vehicle you drive, and historical utilization. 

You can find current toll rates on the SH 288 Managed Lanes Project toll rate page.

Historic toll rates can be found on the toll rate archive page.

Drivers on SH 288 managed lanes will incur toll charges at each mainline and direct connector toll gantry. If traveling through multiple toll gantries, the driver will be charged at each gantry so that the total trip price equals the amount displayed on the toll rate sign when the driver entered the facility.

Effective October 1, 2026, drivers without a toll tag pay 50 percent more. Non-tag premiums are calculated as follows: Base Toll Rate multiplied by the Class Factor multiplied by 0.5. Additional fees apply for non-tag transactions.

The SH 288 Managed Lanes Project is comprised of three mainlane toll gantries and eight direct connector toll gantries.
