If you receive an email from us saying "Your trip pass is expired", a toll trip you bought hasn't been used and has now expired. This can happen if you bought more trips than you needed, or we couldn't read your plate number correctly to apply the credit. Once trip credit expires, it can only be refunded to the person who bought it.
If you receive a message stating the purchase could not be found; this could be because your Pay & Go toll purchase has expired; has already been refunded or the tolls have been used.
If you believe this is not the case, please contact us.
