RFID Q&A

How do I get my reimbursement?
Buy your tag NO LATER THAN MARCH 31, 2013, and pass through one of the Port’s four container terminals by September 30, 2013. The RFID system will read the tag and a reimbursement check will be mailed at the end of the month following the first time the tag is recognized by the reader.

Where should I place the tag?
The tag MUST be placed on the back of the driver’s side mirror. Loose tags WILL NOT be accepted. Installation instructions will come with the tag.

What if my tag doesn’t work?
Go to the Port’s RFID service center at Terminal 5. The service center is located at 3520 26th Ave SW, Seattle. See map below.
