TransJam Highways (formerly Highway 2000 East-West) is a network of tolled roadways (T1 and T2) currently with two (2) corridors:
• T1 is 43.5 kilometres long and stretches between Kingston and May Pen (with a connection through to Spanish Town)
• T2 is 6.4 kilometres in length and runs between Kingston and Portmore (Portmore Causeway)
The motorway corridors are supported by four (4) toll plazas, commencing with one at Vineyards which was opened in 2003, followed by one at Spanish Town in 2004, then the Portmore facility in 2006, and finally one at May Pen (Mineral Heights), which was opened in 2012.
Please click the following link to view the current rates and discounts: Toll Rates
The toll rates are calculated based on a formula which takes the Exchange Rate, Jamaican Consumer Price Index, and US Consumer Price Index into account. The Concession Agreement permits a revision of the toll rates in July of each year
Class 1 and class 2 T-Tag customers who make 10 trips within the week on one leg of the highway will get their 10th trip FREE. Plus, for the 11th trip onwards within the week, the toll rate is discounted by 10%.
Frequent User Rewards are applicable for all four (4) legs of TransJam Highways (Portmore, Spanish Town, Vineyards, and May Pen)
*Each week starts on Saturday at 00:00:01 (or 1 second after midnight).
Vehicles are classified according to the height and length. The table below indicates the specifications for class 1, 2 and 3 vehicles. As the Operator of TransJam Highways we are mandated to remain in accordance with this standard for vehicle classification which was adopted into law via Gazette.
Class | Height | Length |
1 | Less than & equal to 1.70 m |
|
2 | Higher than 1.70 m | Less than 5.50 m |
3 | Higher than 1.70 m | More than 5.50 m |
At the manual lanes of any TransJam Highways toll plaza, the actual dimensions of a vehicle are detected by in-lane sensors. This information is then used by an automated system to determine the classification of each vehicle based on the above table. While the classification of vehicles driven by T-Tag customers is fixed to their T-Tag account upon sign up.
While two vehicles may be of the same make, model and year, slight variations may affect the height and length of each vehicle, causing them to fall within different classes. For example, larger/smaller tyres, the mounting of a roof rack, or the installation of a body kit can change the height and/ or length of a vehicle.
Should you experience such a variation, please contact our Customer Service Team (customer-support@h2k-jio.com) so that an investigation may be conducted.
Yes. While two vehicles may be of the same make, model and year, slight variations may affect the height and length of each vehicle, causing them to fall within different classes.

A T-Tag is a device which is linked to a driver’s prepaid T-Tag Account with TransJam Highways. The T-Tag is affixed to a specified area of the driver’s motor vehicle and is detected by sensors in the Tag lane at the Toll Plazas. Once there are sufficient funds in the driver’s T-Tag Account for the passage, the applicable toll charge is deducted from the account, and the driver is granted passage in one quick automated step. It is far more convenient to travel on TransJam Highways when you have a T-Tag!

You can also access the My T-Tag platform by clicking on the “My T-Tag Portal” link at the top right of this page.
When the My T-Tag app launches, first time users will have to click the “create account” button to register on the app.
You will then be taken to the first of three quick steps to create your account.
Step 1
Here you will have to select the type of account you would like to register. If it is an account for you, select individual account. If it is an account for your business, select company account.
Complete all the remaining fields, and be sure that the email address being entered is one you have immediate access to, because a one-time-password will be sent to this address.
Then read and agree to the terms & conditions, select the “I’m not a robot” checkbox and satisfy the ReCAPTCHA verification.
Then click “proceed”.
Step 2
You will then be taken to step 2 in which you will be required to check the email address you provided during step one for the one-time-password or “OTP” for short. If you do not see this email, please check your spam or junk mail.
You will have a limited amount of time to enter your OTP, so do it quickly.
Once you have successfully entered your OTP, you will be taken to the third and final step.
Step 3
At this point, you will be asked to create a password.
Make sure your password is at least 8 characters long, and includes at least 1 uppercase letter, at least 1 number, and at least 1 special character such as an exclamation mark, a dollar sign, etc.
You will also be asked to confirm your password by entering it again.

The OTP expires 3 minutes (180 seconds) after it is issued. If you attempt to enter the OTP after this time has passed, it will not work. Click on the link to resend the OTP. Note that this time the OTP will be sent to both your email address and to your phone via SMS. This new OTP will also expire after 3 minutes (180 seconds).
If you have never used the My T-Tag app before, you will first have to register and create a new account (even if you had previously registered to use the Lite version) in order to proceed. This is a one-time registration only, and your information will be securely saved so you can top up even more conveniently and quickly every time.
To conduct a name change within the My T-Tag app, go to the Profile page and then select Edit Details. Please feel free to reach out to our Customer Support if you need further assistance.
For your continued protection, we have upgraded the My T-Tag platform to include a Card Verification feature which requires a debit or credit card to be verified before it can be used for top-ups. Though you may have saved and used your cards previously, they now need to be verified as belonging to you. Look under the “Profiles” option and select “Card Info” and then the “Non-verified Cards” tab. Choose “Verify” and follow the instructions to complete the verification.
