Tolling Operations
Please be on alert if you recevie a text message requesting toll payments. It is a nationwide "smishing" scam. GeauxPass does not use SMS texts to request toll payments.
DOTD operates GeauxPass, a statewide toll system for roads and bridges. GeauxPass allows travelers to enjoy non-stop driving on Louisiana toll roads through a barcode sticker installed on a vehicle's windshield behind the rearview mirror or invoiced using Toll-By-Plate. To keep you on your way and reduce traffic, DOTD has an all-electronic tolling system allowing GeauxPass account holders to pay tolls using their online accounts.
Vehicles with GeauxPass tags are identified by the Automatic Vehicle Identification system. When you drive across the toll bridges, there is equipment installed, called a gantry, with lights and cameras overhead. The gantry reads the GeauxPass barcode or if you don’t have a GeauxPass, cameras capture pictures of your license plate. This Toll-By-Plate system allows those customers to receive an invoice by mail at the address where the vehicle is registered. There is a difference in pricing without a toll tag, see toll fees below.
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway Bridge is not operated by DOTD. The Causeway Toll Tag may be used on the LA 1 Bridge.
