Alabama Freedom Pass™ gets you where you're going a little faster by allowing you to add a payment method with the app before you get to Emerald Mountain and then pay as you go with your Apple or Android device when you get here. You can use any open lane even if it is unattended!
No more fishing for change or searching for a credit card! Once you have set up your account and added your payment method follow the app screens to pay the toll at the Emerald Mountain Expressway bridge. It’s that easy!
How does it work?
Alabama Freedom Pass™ uses Lane Locator Codes to identify which lane you are in at the toll plaza. The app then communicates with the computer in that lane to accept payment and raise the gate. Once you confirm your location, the gate goes up and you are off!
I have set up my account and added a payment method, what do I do now?
When you approach the Emerald Mountain Expressway toll plaza you or a passenger loads the app on your mobile device. Since you have already added a payment method all you have to do is touch the green “PAY” button. Enter the lane locator code for the toll lane you are in and again touch “PAY.” When you are first in line in front of the gate press “CONFIRM.”
Where do I find the Lane Locator Code?
Lane locator codes are posted on the posts as you approach each lane.
When should I confirm payment?
When your vehicle is first in line, directly in front of the gate. If you confirm payment with another vehicle in front of you, you will pay for them.
