The bottom line is that if Waze knows that you are driving on lanes THAT WAZE KNOWS ABOUT, Waze should recalculate your route ON THOSE LANES. Waze should not care if you have entered an EZPass in your configuration... that's irrelevant. I'm on the lanes, so just route me on those lanes!

I mean, you can drive without an EZ-Pass and pay the fee, in the same sense that you can drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you're willing to pay some money. But neither one is legal.

Do you have your transponder selected? Need EZPass or EZPassFlex. Go to SETTINGS>NAVIGATION> Add toll/HOV passes> Select EZPASS-VA or EZPASS FLEX as applicable if you have one.
You need to have either one to see the express lanes as a toll road. You need EZPassFlex to get the HOV-2/3+ route and then select it in the ROUTES section.

If you haven't told Waze you have the appropriate transponder then it will not route you on the Express Lanes.

The lanes are marked on the VDOT signage as EZPass Only and HOV-3+ needs EZPassFlex for free routing. There is no official pay by plate, you do get a few days grace period to pay on line or else you get a bill in the mail with raised prices. So if you want Waze to route you with the VDOTs set up you just need to add the transponder.
