Over 3,300 drivers charged double on I-405 toll lanes 

Anyone who sees suspicious charges on their bill is asked to call WSDOT for a refund

Really?   You know over 3300 drivers were charged double, but you don’t want to auto-refund those people?   You expect people to contact you for a refund?

This is pure laziness, and lack of customer focus.  If you cared about the commuter,  you’d do the work to validate people were refunded.  The company running the tolls should step up.

Are the new 405 toll lanes helping or hurting?

I know there are a lot of conversations happening around this.   The intent, to keep carpool lanes moving at 45+ MPH, appears to be working.  I am torn.  I see bigger challenges that need to be solved, but when I was driving 405 and carpooling, it really didn’t save much time.   So.. I am curious what you all think?
