South Shore Toll Tag Office 3812 Ridgelake Dr. Suite 201 Metairie, La. 70002 (504) 835-3118 e-mail: tagsales@gnoec.org Tolls are only collected on the North Shore (Mandeville side of lake) The toll fare schedule is as follows: The electronic toll collection system allows motorists the ease of not having to stop and pay the tolls. It gathers identification data from moving vehicles by way of toll tags and transfers that data to a computerized management system. For each trip on the Causeway, the computer deducts a credit against prepaid toll fares. When the prepaid account reaches a minimum balance, a caution light at the toll lane notifies cash patrons that their account balance is low and a payment is required. (Patron's accounts set up on charge cards are replenished automatically.) The toll tags are attached to the bottom left corner of the vehicle's windshield with velcro.  The tag reader located in the toll lane recognizes the tag number and deducts the proper amount. 1 - Discount - Available for passenger vehicles under 7 feet in height. 2 - Full Fare - Available for all remaining vehicle classes. 3 - Recreational - Available for recreational vehicles. There are three types of toll tag accounts: Discount Toll Tags $2 per round trip Discount toll tags are available for passenger vehicles under 7 feet in height. This tag allows the patron to cross for $2.00 per trip. The cost for this tag package is $52.50. This amount includes of a $12.50 refundable tag deposit and $40 that is applied to your account. Full Fare Tags These tags are available for all other classes of vehicles. This tag provides the convenience of not having to stop and pay the cash toll, and also enables you to use the "tag only" lanes. Rates for these vehicles are determined by the number of axles and height of the vehicle. For example: A truck 2 axles over 7 feet in height would pay $6.00.  The total cost for this tag would be 12 trips at $6.00 plus a $12.50 refundable deposit  and would total $84.50. Recreational Tags Rates for vehicles such as campers, motor homes, horse trailers, etc. are generally determined by the number of axles and height of the vehicle. Making Payments  There are three options available when making a payment on your account. 1. You may come to the north or south shore Commuter Sales Offices and apply money to your account by either cash, check, money order, or credit card ( Visa, Master Card, and Discover, American Express ). 2. The most convenient payment method is for you to authorize G.N.O.E.C. to automatically bill your credit card when your account reaches the stipulated low balance.
