Georgia riders PAY ATTENTION - New HOT lanes around metro Atlanta

[..]

Motorcycles are allowed to use the "HOV" Lanes here in Georgia without issues. However, the new "HOT" Lanes (most of the current HOV Lanes are being converted to HOT Lanes) will require a "PeachPass" to use the Lane (this cost money, $20.00 min, plus the cost of the transponder).

What do you need to do? To use the new "HOT" Lanes will require that you register your motorcycle with the "PeachPass" people and there is NO CHARGE for this. All you will need is your motorcycle license tag and drivers license numbers. You CANNOT NOT USE THE WEB to register but must call the following number: (855) PCH-PASS (724-7277). If you do use the WEB, then you will end up paying for the privilege to use the "HOT" Lanes.

Hey Paul,

How does this impact us out-of-state riders? Do we have to register too, or are we not included - or contemplated?

I try to avoid Atlanta as much as possible, as anyone who's ever ridden through there would know, but there are still occasions when it just makes since to scoot through rather than go 1-200 miles out of the way. Those HOV lanes have been a lifesaver for me, but... I appreciate the heads-up!!!

If an out of state rider is not registered YOU WILL BE FINED for using a HOT lane.

Bloody stupid. Government at work again. Brainless f' wits.

Oh yeah when you register you have to supply phone number and email. The human robot couldn't tell me why they needed that info only that registration could not be completed without it.
