Navigating Account Access Difficulties
⚠️ Forgot Password or Can't Log In
Cause: User has forgotten their password or is experiencing login issues.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. If you've forgotten your password, visit the 'Forgot your password or can't Log In?' link on the login page. Enter your LeeWay account number and the email address associated with your account, then click 'Send Me Email' to receive password reset instructions. If you encounter an 'Account or Password is incorrect' or 'Session timed out' message, double-check your credentials or try the password reset process.
⚠️ Double-Charging with Multiple Transponders
Cause: Having more than one compatible transponder (e.g., LeeWay and SunPass) in the same vehicle can lead to being charged twice for the same toll.
Solution: To prevent double-charging, ensure only one active transponder is affixed to your vehicle. If you believe you've been double-charged, contact the LeeWay service center with documentation showing both transponders were charged for the same toll at the same time and location. Refunds are typically processed within two to four weeks.
⚠️ Administrative Fees for Pay-By-Plate
Cause: Motorists without a transponder or who do not maintain a positive LeeWay account balance are subject to administrative fees when paying by plate.
Solution: The simplest way to avoid administrative fees is to sign up for a free LeeWay transponder and maintain a positive balance in your prepaid account. You can get a free sticker transponder from www.LeeWayInfo.com or the customer service center.
⚠️ Registration Stop on License Plate
Cause: An outstanding Lee County Pay-By-Plate amount or other violation might lead to a registration stop.
Solution: If you have a current registration stop due to outstanding Pay-By-Plate amounts, these must be paid before a new transponder can be issued or the stop removed. Contact LeeWay directly at (239) 533-9297 if you need a registration stop removed urgently, as it can take 7 to 10 business days for online applications to process.

Direct Answers to LeeWay Toll Questions
Q: How do I get a LeeWay transponder for my vehicle?
You can obtain a free LeeWay sticker transponder by signing up for an account on the official www.LeeWayInfo.com website. You can also pick one up at the LeeWay Service Center. When applying, you'll need to provide vehicle information and a credit card for an initial prepaid balance.
Q: Where can I use my LeeWay transponder?
Your LeeWay transponder works on all Lee County toll facilities, including the Cape Coral Bridge, Midpoint Memorial Bridge, and Sanibel Causeway. It's also interoperable and accepted on most toll roads throughout Florida (like SunPass and E-Pass lanes), North Carolina (Quick Pass), and Georgia (Peach Pass), and other compatible systems such as E-ZPass, I-Pass, and Riverlink.
Q: What happens if I forget to pay a toll or don't have a transponder?
If you pass through a toll facility without a transponder or sufficient prepaid balance, you will be subject to a Pay-By-Plate system, which incurs administrative fees. Unpaid toll invoices will be mailed to the address associated with your license plate. To avoid these fees, it's best to have a LeeWay transponder with a positive balance.
Q: Can I use my SunPass with LeeWay tolls?
Yes, LeeWay toll facilities accept SunPass transponders, among others like E-Pass and E-ZPass. However, it's recommended to only have one transponder active in your vehicle at a time to prevent potential double-charging.
