The Good to Go program is similar to other electronic tolling around the country such as FasTrak in California and E-ZPass in the eastern United States.

The account setup also requires either purchasing and activating a Good to Go Pass that is affixed to a vehicle, or by registering the license plate.

[2] The changeover, which included a two-week system blackout, was scheduled to take place in June but was postponed by a month due to errors found in final tests.

[9] The pilot project on State Route 167 was launched in 2008 to test a new congestion management tool in Washington, allowing solo drivers to pay an electronic toll for use of existing high-occupancy vehicle lanes, without having to stop.

It consists of a single HOT lane in each direction running along State Route 167 between Renton and Auburn in King County.

[14][15] WSDOT is in development of a 40-mile (64 km) system of HOT lanes on the entire length of I-405 and nearby SR 167, with the southern half from Bellevue to Renton scheduled to be completed in 2024.

[16] A direct flyover ramp in Renton between the HOT lanes on I-405 and SR 167 began construction in 2016 [17] and was opened four months ahead of schedule on February 21, 2019.

[19] WSDOT's toll collection system replacement project was delayed by more than two years due to missed deadlines and other issues with a vendor, according to an audit conducted by the state auditor.

According to the audit, the project had exceeded its budget by $13 million and was pushed back several times due to issues adjusting to state requirements and software systems.
