One annoying thing is I've tried to pay, but can't.

I spend about four to five months per year in the Bay Area, but have Canadian license plates. The website doesn't even let you enter a Canadian plate, or a foreign plate.

So I bought one of the transponders at Walgreens, and just leave it in the glove box because it has 20 bucks or something when you buy it.

But I can't check its status, don't know how much is left on it, have no idea what I'm paying, really sucks.

Go to https://www.bayareafastrak.org/en/home/index.shtml, make an account and link your tag using it's serial number. Hopefully you'll get the information you're looking for there.

As I said, making an account requires a license plate. Even for "Create a Fasttrak account". It's on the second page, demanding a license plate.
