E-470 for Aurora drivers
Do I need an ExpressToll account?+
Not legally — License Plate Toll bills by mail — but it costs much more per plaza at Aurora gantries. Daily commuters save hundreds of dollars a year with a transponder.
Which plazas will I hit?+
E-470 arcs through east Aurora: one plaza near the DIA end, more mid-corridor and south toward I-25. Each mainline plaza you pass is charged separately — a north-to-south trip crosses several.
How am I billed without a transponder?+
Cameras read your plate; a statement arrives monthly at the registered owner’s address. Pay in full by the due date — late statements add fees, and unpaid tolls escalate.
Any Aurora discount?+
ExpressToll account holders pay the lowest rate on every Colorado toll facility, not just E-470 — Northwest Parkway and express lanes included. There is no Aurora-resident discount tier.
