Where can you buy a Fastrak pass?

When a driver opens a FasTrak account, he gets a FasTrak transponder to fix his windshield.

To open an account, he pays a deposit for the Transponder and pre-pays an initial sum into his account to cover a number of toll payments. He then uses a credit card, cash or check to top up his account when the balance dips below a set amount.
