We as a society are always looking for ease of use & multitasking when it comes to technology. Why let something that is useful for one service or use, not be used for several services. That's why I think that FasTrak & SFO were smart to team up, so people can use their FasTrak to pay for parking at the airport.
Below is information from the FasTrak website:
Can I use my FasTrak® toll tag to pay for parking at the SFO?
Soon FasTrak® customers will have the option to use their FasTrak® toll tags to pay parking charges at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) parking facilities. The program will begin with SFO’s long-term parking lot and be expanded to other lots as SFO upgrades their payment equipment in those facilities. Similar to the toll bridges, customers who use the airport parking lots will have the choice of using a FasTrak® lane or a non-FasTrak® lane when entering/exiting the parking lot. Each lot will have at least two lanes – one of which will be available to FasTrak® users.
FasTrak® customers who use a valid credit card for account replenishment will automatically be opted into the parking program.
There is even information so you can block this service, but I do not know why you would want to do that. think about how helpful it will be to make sure your FasTrak account has extra money to pay for your parking before you leave for your trip, so you are not scrounging in the ashtray or under the seats for the fare. Now if we could only get Oakland International to accept FasTrak for parking too, that would be great.
