Keep Your Peach Pass 

Your Peach Pass account stays active, and is only charged when you use it. So even though the GA 400 tolls are ending, be sure to keep your Peach Pass for use when you need to bypass traffic using the existing Interstate 85 Express Lanes or the planned Interstate 75 Express Lanes south of Atlanta (coming in 2016) and I-75/575 Express Lanes in the Northwest Corridor (coming in 2018).
