The Golden Gate Bridge district's board of directors voted Friday morning to raise tolls on the span.
The Golden Gate Bridge district’s board of directors voted Friday morning to raise tolls on the span to nearly $10 over the next five years to help close a $74 million budget shortfall.
The Board approved Option Five, expected to raise approximately $100 million over five years. Only one member of board voted against the toll hike, District spokeswoman Priya Clemens said.
The FasTrak toll will increase 35 cents a year to $8.50 over five years. The Pay-As-You-Go toll will increase 20 cents a year to $9 and invoice billing toll will increase 35 cents a year to $9.75 over five years. The toll increases start July 1.
The Pay-As-You-Go toll is for drivers who register their vehicle’s license plate with the district. Under invoice billing, a camera photographs a vehicle license plate and a bill is sent to the registered owner.
