  • Carpools and vanpools need an E-ZPass Flex transponder to travel free.
  • The additional ‘Pool Rewards cash incentives for the new I-66 Express Lanes (additional $236 per carpooler) are above and beyond the usual $130 savings offered to commuters traveling elsewhere through the regional Commuter Connections ‘Pool Rewards program.
