# WA TollView

WA TollView helps Washington drivers decide whether to use the Express Toll Lanes (ETL) or stick to the General Purpose (GP) lanes. Powered by real-time data from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) APIs, the app provides:

- Current toll prices
- Approximate time savings
- Implied time cost (dollars per minute saved)

You decide what makes a toll “worth it” — WA TollView simply helps you act on it.
