"first toll payment option to cover toll roads and managed lanes in both the United States"

Managed lanes are specific highway lanes that are actively controlled—by tolls, vehicle restrictions, or variable access—to keep traffic flowing faster than adjacent lanes. Think of them as an express checkout lane that charges a fee or reserves space for certain users to reduce wait times. They matter to investors because they can create steady toll revenue, change traffic patterns that affect broader road usage, and involve long-term contracts or government approvals that influence project risk and returns.

Fleets and Consumers Moving Across Both US and Canada Now Have Access to Unified Transponder-less Payment Option, for the First Time

AUSTIN, Texas, May 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NextMove by Cintra, a Ferrovial company, today announced that its NextPass toll management platform now supports Highway 407 ETR, and is the first toll payment option to cover toll roads and managed lanes in both the United States and Canada.

NextPass delivers a toll payment experience without a transponder, adding an unparalleled level of convenience and peace-of-mind to drivers.

"Consumers and Fleets have long been frustrated by having to juggle transponders and figure out how to pay for tolls when moving across regions or countries," said Brad Wright, CEO, NextMove by Cintra. "In partnership with 407 ETR, we've been able to remove complexity and make tolling easier and interoperable for millions of vehicles that move between both countries."

Fleets can sign up for NextPass by registering at NextPass.io/fleets, where they can bulk upload vehicles and receive access to transparent reporting, including details around toll trips by vehicle, day, and the toll segment.

"We have been using NextPass for several months, and have been impressed with their transparency, level of service, and our reduction in operational cycles," said Ben Stoner, Chief Financial Officer, GSP Transportation, Inc., a rental car operator in South Carolina. "Once our vehicles are rented, we have no control over where they go. NextPass ensures that tolls are covered, and we don't have to deal with tolling notices and fees. It's great to see that Toronto is now covered as well."

Consumers can sign up for NextPass at NextPass.io, or by downloading the NextPass app and registering vehicles in it. All vehicles enrolled in the NextPass service have access to Highway 407 ETR.

"NextPass is the perfect option for out-of-province and US drivers who want an easy, near real-time billing option when travelling to Toronto and for Canadians travelling across the US," said Jose Espinosa, President & CEO, 407 ETR. "With NextPass, drivers can focus on what matters most – making memories at the next destination of their road trip – not figuring out how to pay for tolls."
