Sign Up For The Discount Program


Watch a brief video on getting an E-ZPass with the Chesapeake ExpresswayHow does the Discount Program work?

Even if you travel on the Chesapeake Expressway only once a week, the Discount Program offers great savings. With a membership fee starting at $20 for the first 6 months and $3.33 per month thereafter, you'll see the savings really add up. The more you use the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program, the more you'll save.

How do I become a member?

You must have a Virginia E-ZPass to enroll in the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program for a discounted toll rate.

Please call the Chesapeake Expressway 757-204-0010 or visit the Chesapeake Expressway Administrative Office at 168 Toll Plaza Road in Chesapeake to enroll in the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program. Membership fees are required.

Note: You must Open a Virginia E-ZPass account before enrolling in the Discount Program. You can get your E-ZPass online, via mail/fax/phone, at the Greenbrier DMV office or through the E-ZPass On-The-Go program at the Chesapeake Treasurer's offices at City Hall, Western Branch, Deep Creek and South Norfolk. You must contact the Chesapeake Expressway directly at 757-204-0010 to enroll in the Discount Program.

How much are the tolls?

  • “Peak Weekend” is defined as the period beginning 12:01 a.m. on the Saturday before Memorial Day Weekend through 12:00 midnight the Sunday after Labor Day weekend. Corresponding dates for 2013 are May 18 to September 8.
  • The membership fees for the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program shall remain the same. All members will be notified of the change in toll fares and resulting discount.
  • The Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program handout is a great reference for this information.
  • The Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program Member Agreement is also a great reference for existing members.

If you use the Chesapeake Expressway frequently, you save money by joining the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program. Discount program members pay just .75 cents for a 2 axle vehicle - a real savings over the regular toll of $3.00 or the peak weekend toll of $6.00.

If you commute Monday through Friday, look at the savings!

Save each day: $4.50
Save each week: $22.50
Save each month: $90.00
Save each year: $1,080.00

Please note: E-ZPass is not guaranteed to work on motorcycles. If you ride a motorcycle on the Chesapeake Expressway, CASH tolls are $1.00. The Electronic Toll Collection System does not differentiate between motorcycles and cars. Therefore, if you have an E-ZPass registered to a motorcycle you will be charged the $3.00 Regular Toll and $6.00 for the Peak Weekends.

How do I maintain my Discount Program membership?

It's easy! After the initial 6-month membership period, monthly fees will be automatically deducted from your prepaid Virginia E-ZPass account. If for any reason a Member's E-ZPass account balance is insufficient to pay Discount Program fees, the Member will be removed from the Discount Program and re-enrollment in the program by the Member will require pre-payment of the six-month fee.

Can I have more than one E-ZPass in my Discount Program account?

Yes, membership fees are charged per Virginia E-ZPass enrolled in the Discount Program.

What if I move or get a new car?

Please notify both the E-ZPass Customer Service Center and the Chesapeake Expressway. Both your E-ZPass Account and Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program will need to be updated.

*Note: Member agrees to use the E-ZPass transponder only on a vehicle with the number of axles identified on the application form. If the transponder is used on a vehicle with a higher number of axles than listed on the application, the Member will be charged the full non-discounted toll for the axle count recorded.

As a Discount Program member, what if my E-ZPass is replaced or I wish to add another E-ZPass?

You must enroll the new Virginia E-ZPass in the Chesapeake Expressway Discount Program.
