Freedom Pass is issued by American Toll Roads, a private toll company, which has set up Alabama Freedom Pass for use on its roads in Tuscaloosa and Montgomery.
Unlike most other transponders, the Freedom Pass is a simple sticker only, with no option for a larger, portable transponder. The pass is also a small strip that affixes to the driver's side of the windshield only. This is unlike most other passes, which are typically placed in the center of the windshield.

For business accounts, you will be required to provide a Vehicle Reference Code (VRC) for each vehicle assigned to your account.
A Vehicle Reference Code (VRC) is a universal identifier used between tolling agencies, to identify the weight and size classes of a specific vechile, along with the number of axles and tires. Business applications include a reference chart of applicable codes. A VRC is not required for personal accounts.
Business operators: It is important to use the largest common configuration of your vehicle when choosing a VRC. For instance, if you operate a five-axle tractor-trailer, but you sometimes only drive the cab, make certain to list the VRC for a five-axle vehicle, not a three-axle vehicle.
