Bay Area Transit Authority hit the operator with a 300,000 dollar penalty but the drivers pay the price. Michael is here with the investigation in this. Reporter i uncovered some staggering numbers. Tens of thousands of drivers are paying penalty most for crossing the Golden Gate Bridge where you can no longer pay a toll tear. If you cross without fast track you may be in for a fight. Derek reid of sonoma toll tear at the time so we crossed through ready forth ticket in the mail. He was to 7 an invoice for the 6 dollar toll instead this. A notice of toll evasion. 25 dollar penalty. He contacted the toll agency fast track. Admitting they were wrong. Reporter fast track later september him the toll invoice he paid the 6 dollars and everything was fine. Or so he thought. Register our car they said theres a hold on the registration. Reporter fast track didnt dismiss the violation. Instead the fine went up to 79 dollars. Derek couldnt register his car until he paid it. Kept admitting it was their error we did pay the ticket that we shouldnt have to pay the fee but they are real sorry the fee but they are real sorry. Reporter he came to us and he wasnt the only one. Dozens of other drivers told me they received a bill for violation before they had a chance to pay the toll. We have seen a spike since we went to all electronic tolling. Reporter Bay Area Toll Authority acknowledges violation shot up after the en gate bridge eliminated toll tears in 2013. 7 on your side investigation revealed a staggering increase. In 2014 nearly a quarter million delivers to pay penalty for toll he vision on the bridge. Thats 5 times more violations than in 2012 when drivers could still pay a toll tear. We know its in incredibly frustrating for our customers. Reporter bridge officials admit the system has flaws. We are not happy with how it has been run. Reporter so who is operating fast track . L its the xerox corporation. The fact that private Corporation Xerox can put a hold on the dmv on my registration seems wrong. Reporter bay area taxpayers are forking over 117 and half Million Dollars to xerox to operate the fast track Customer Service center for 5 years. That includes collecting a fee every time xerox puts a first violation notice in the mail. Xerox manages that profit fast track program.

Suit sets xerox wield the power of Government Agency without giving drivers due process rights. They are Holding Registration hostage of people who are trying to pay their toll. Reporter he says invoices often go to the wrong address. Drivers have no way to pay the toll without it. Cant get answer from his fast track Customer Service. Xerox said it couldnt comment on the lawsuit but release add statement saying xerox take seriously any issues which affect motorist. Consumer appeals happen for many reasons and each appeal address based on the individual circumstances. They are a private company. And obviously they are a Business Model to make a profit. And i think that should be expected for doing the work. Reporter premier says Toll Authority is still responsible for toll and penalty and working with xerox to improve Customer Service. Which brings us back to derek reid. He recorded 3 hours on the phone with fast track. I have been dealing with this for one year 4 months and 6 days. Reporter remember the toll violation. Fast track dismissed it only to put it back on his dmv record the following year. Im begging you let me talk to a supervisor. Begging you. Reporter the agent still could not remove the dmv hold. Big reason for that 330,000 dollar penalty xerox accidentally mailed violation notices to 16,000 drivers late last year. Now it has to refund penalty fee the drivers paid. Transit agency are now hiring a consultant to help xerox fix problems at fast track. We keep track and see how that goes. What a mess. Thanks michael.
