The audit, though, found SANDAG lost almost $2 million in revenue due to the Kapsch Roadway system transmitting trips incorrectly calculated or not transmitting trips at all. The Kapsch Roadway system captures vehicle transactions on the SR 125, processes them into trip data and transmits the information to the Fastlane Back-Office System for customer billing.
