Good To Go! SR 520 Toll Launch
Harnessing Power of Partnerships to Sell Toll Passes
The Washington State Department of Transportation deployed its first all-electronic tolling system on the State Route 520 Bridge to help fund a replacement bridge. The SR 520 is a vital corridor, providing critical transportation for over 100,000 vehicles daily. WSDOT hired PRR to lead marketing efforts to encourage drivers to prepare for the new toll system by purchasing a Good To Go! pass. Good To Go! is the name of the state’s all-electronic tolling system, and a Good To Go! account and pass offers drivers the easiest and least expensive way to pay a toll.
