The Toll Roads of Orange County California are sponsoring a monthly lottery in which the winner will get $1,000 in toll credits they can use for travel with a FasTrak electronic toll transponder. Odds of winning the 'grand' prize will be improved according to the amount of travel in the month on the four county tollroads.

Orange County tollroads have been under criticism for insisting that a Los Angeles County fire company pay a toll on the San Joaquin Hills tollroad (CA73). Their firetruck wasn't attending a fire.

The Toll Roads of Orange County California are installing flashing indicator lights to help watching police see violators. 52 toll lanes will get the lights. They have been tested at the Catalina View toll plaza on the 73 San Joaquin Hills Toll Road. Their operation there helped state police catch drivers without a license plate who can't be caught with cameras.

There are new efforts under way to merge the two Orange County Toll Roads in southern California. Local officials have formed a Transportation Corridor System board of directors to make a new attempt at a merger of the San Joachin Hills Toll Road (CA73) and Foothill/Eastern Toll Road (CA133/241/251).
