Leeville, La. – On Thursday, March 7, representatives from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) will be onsite, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the Wal-Mart Supercenter, located at 16759 Hwy. 3235 in Galliano, La., to continue its GeauxPass toll tag giveaway.

Sponsored by the LA1 Coalition, the promotion is giving away 100 toll tags per day, while supplies last, to drivers traveling the La. 1 toll bridge. The giveaway is not available online or by phone, so drivers must come in-person to open a GeauxPass Toll Tag account. One free toll tag per customer/vehicle will be given. Customers will need the following to qualify for the free toll tag.

·         A valid driver’s license or state ID

·         A permanent vehicle license plate number

·         A minimum of $30 (Depending on the type of vehicle driven, a higher opening balance is recommended.)

·         A current valid email address

As a reminder, the Golden Meadow Customer Service Center continues operating extended hours, from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m., today and tomorrow. It is located at 1821 South Alex Plaisance Blvd. (Hwy. 3235).

Opening a GeauxPass Toll Tag account is highly recommended for frequent travelers of La. 1 as it is the most efficient way to expedite the toll process for motorists crossing the expressway. Drivers can avoid lines or delays in the dedicated left lane for toll tag users. The advantages of using GeauxPass are no lines at the toll gantry; no scrambling for loose change or dollar bills; no need to open car windows in bad weather; access to the non-stop, open toll lane on La. 1; and GeauxPass is a snap to install – no tools necessary.
