Toll Management
With this program, we will integrate toll charges on Ontario highways 407, 412 and 418 into your overall fleet billing and free you from the hassles of making separate payments for individual vehicles.
Using these roads can save your drivers a lot of time. But the toll charges make them more costly than other routes. We can help you understand when the time savings justify the added expense. We will identify all vehicles that need to use these highways and make sure they have valid transponders. From there, our FleetPoint app will capture all the information needed to integrate your toll charges. In fact, it will capture and consolidate all data related to toll and highway usage. We can then factor this data into our analyses of driver productivity. So, for example, you can flag any trips not designated for use on these highways.
If there are any incorrect charges, such as toll camera charges on vehicles not subject to them, we will work with the appropriate parties to get them removed. And we’ll make sure there are no unpaid fees, damaged license plates or other issues that now require your attention.
