What is Alabama Freedom Pass?
Alabama Freedom Pass is the official toll account and discount system for three major toll roads in the state: Montgomery Expressway (Millbrook), Emerald Mountain Expressway (Wetumpka), and the Tuscaloosa Bypass (Tuscaloosa). When you open a Freedom Pass account, you’ll receive a windshield sticker transponder for each vehicle you register. Simply place the sticker inside your windshield and you’re ready to go—no need to stop for cash or cards.
As a Freedom Pass member, you’re automatically enrolled in the Freedom Pass Rewards Program, which gives you free trips each month based on how often you use your toll service:
- - 25 trips/month → 1 free trip
- - 35 trips/month → 2 free trips
- - 45 trips/month → 3 free trips
- - 55 trips/month → 4 free trips
- - 70+ trips/month → 6 free trips
The more you drive, the more you save.

Freedom Pass App
Pay tolls right from your phone using the Freedom Pass mobile app—available on both Apple and Android devices. The app allows you to pass through any open lane, even if it’s unattended. Once your account and payment method are set up, the process is simple:
Locate Your Lane – Each toll lane has a unique Lane Locator Code posted as you approach.
Open the App – When your vehicle is first in line, tap “PAY” and enter the Lane Locator Code.
Confirm Payment – Tap “CONFIRM” only when your vehicle is directly at the gate. This ensures you’re not paying for the vehicle in front of you.
With Freedom Pass, there’s no more fishing for change or swiping credit cards. It’s the fastest, easiest way to get across Alabama’s toll roads.
