Gone With the Tollbooths: E-470's All About That Electronic Toll Life
Unlike your grandma's toll roads, E-470 ditches the dusty booths and grumpy toll collectors in favor of a zippity-zap electronic system. That means no scrambling for quarters while holding up traffic (unless you're digging for loose change under the seat... been there!).
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
Here's the thing, though: if you don't have an ExpressToll account (think of it as an E-ZPass for Colorado), you'll be a License Plate Toll customer. Basically, they'll snap a pic of your license plate as you zoom by, and a bill will arrive in the mail like a surprise visit from your debt collector uncle (hopefully it's a smaller surprise).
QuickTip: Revisit this post tomorrow — it’ll feel new.
Important Note: Being a License Plate Toll customer means you pay a higher toll rate than those fancy folks with the ExpressToll accounts. Think of it as a VIP lane for your wallet.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.

So, You Owe a Toll: Let's Settle Up Without the Tears (or Late Fees)
Now that we've established you're not an electronic toll whiz (yet!), here are the ways to appease the toll gods and avoid any nasty late fees:
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
- Channel Your Inner Internet Explorer and Go Online: Head over to the E-470 website (may require more patience than dial-up internet, but hey, at least you're not stuck waiting in a tollbooth line!). You can pay your bill with a credit card or debit card. Easy peasy.
- Embrace the Power of Phone Banking (Because We Can't All Be Millennials): Give E-470 a call and use their automated system or chat with a friendly customer service rep to settle your bill.
- The Snail Mail Shuffle: Still rocking a flip phone? No worries! You can mail a check (because who doesn't love a good excuse to lick some stamps?) to the address provided on your toll statement.
Pro Tip: Consider setting up an ExpressToll account for future E-470 adventures. You'll save money on tolls and avoid the whole license plate picture situation (unless you're going for a new Instagram profile pic, that is).
