The State Road and Tollway Authority (SRTA) is alerting Peach Pass customers that a federal exemption allowing certified Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFVs), including electric vehicles, to ride toll-free in the I-85 High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes will expire at 11:59 pm on September 29, 2025. This change, based on 23 United States Code 166(b), means that starting September 30, 2025, all electric vehicles and other AFVs, regardless of whether they were Peach Pass certified AFVs, traveling in the nation’s high occupancy toll lanes including Georgia’s I-85 HOT Lanes must pay tolls or meet the occupancy requirements of Peach Pass Verify. All Peach Pass customers, including owners of electric and alternative fuel vehicles can still travel toll free in the I-85 HOT Lanes when carpooling with three or more occupants who have been validated through the Peach Pass Verify Mobile app.
