Payments can be securely and conveniently made online at www.go-pass.com, by mail or by phone. The bill will include the tolls, plus applicable fees. GO-PASS is an exclusive service of Northwest Parkway. If you travel on other Colorado toll roads you will receive a separate toll bill from ExpressToll.

This option is only valid for the Northwest Parkway toll road. Sign-up for Auto-Bill at www.go-pass.com.
ExpressToll Account
Customers can open an ExpressToll account with a $35 prepaid toll balance and will receive a transponder to place inside of the vehicle(s). As you drive any Colorado toll road, the tolls (without fees) will be deducted from your balance. To sign up or learn more about this convenient option please visit www.expresstoll.com.

GO-PASS FAQs
What is GO-PASS?
Where can I use GO-PASS?
GO-PASS is an exclusive service of Northwest Parkway and is available only on the Northwest Parkway, not other toll roads. The Northwest Parkway connects with the E-470 toll road at I-25 just north of 144th Avenue and extends west to Highway 36 (the Boulder Turnpike) and State Highway 128, in Broomfield, Colorado. If your travels take you east of I-25, you will receive a separate bill for transactions occurring on E-470
What are my options for paying tolls on the Northwest Parkway?

I already have an ExpressToll Account. Do I also need to sign-up for GO-PASS?
No. Northwest Parkway also accepts your ExpressToll pass. However, your ExpressToll account must be in good standing.
How is GO-PASS different from ExpressToll?
With ExpressToll, you establish an account with a pre-paid balance and receive a tag for each vehicle on your account. Your tolls are deducted from your account balance when you drive the road. With GO-PASS, you don’t need to pre-pay for any tolls. You can choose to have the payment for your bill automatically charged to your credit/debit card by signing up with GO-PASS Auto-Bill service. You can choose to wait for your bill to be sent to you and then make your payment online or mail us a check (follow instructions on the bill). That’s the key – you choose!
Are there any other fees or charges associated with GO-PASS?
Please click here to view our detailed list of fees and charges. Remember, you can avoid additional fees and charges if you sign up with ExpressToll or GO-PASS Auto-Bill.
Can I choose to have one single bill which will include payment for multiple vehicles?
GO-PASS allows you to combine multiple vehicles into a single account. This way you can enjoy the convenience of a consolidated bill that separately itemizes the transaction details for each of your registered vehicles. By registering the vehicles in your GO-PASS account, you take responsibility for payment of the tolls on the Northwest Parkway for those vehicles.
Can I still pay cash for my tolls at the booths?
No. As of January 1, 2010 we no longer accept cash at any of the Northwest Parkway toll lanes. You will receive a GO-PASS bill within approximately 30 days of when you travel. We encourage you to sign-up for our GO-PASS Auto-Bill service to save both time and money. Learn more about Auto-Bill here.
