Bay Area Toll Bridges

There are eight bridges in the Bay Area. All of the bridges require a toll payment to pass in one direction, and FasTrak is accepted for electronic payment on all eight bridges.

The Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) operates the Bay Area's seven state-owned toll bridges:

• Antioch
• Benicia-Martinez
• Carquinez
• Dumbarton
• Richmond-San Rafael
• San Francisco-Oakland Bay
• San Mateo-Hayward
• Golden Gate Bridge

Cost and Methods of Payment

The seven state-owned bridges require a regular toll of $7.

The Golden Gate Bridge requires a toll of $8.40 for FasTrak users. If you pay after receiving an invoice (without a FasTrak account), the toll will be higher.

Carpools

Carpools, clean air vehicles, motorcycles and commuter buses or vanpools may receive a discount on bridge carpool lanes during designated hours, Monday through Friday.

See the details for each bridge to see requirements for a toll discount, or visit FasTrak's Carpool Guide.

Carpool lanes are open to everyone and charge the full toll outside of these hours.

Ways to Pay

Drivers have multiple options to pay for tolls on Bay Area bridges:

• FasTrak toll tag
• License Plate Accounts
• Short-Term License Plate Accounts
• Invoice

Multibridge Discount

If you travel over more than one state-owned bridge per day during peak commute hours and pay bridge tolls with a FasTrak toll tag or License Plate Account, you will receive a $1.00 discount off your second toll ($0.50 for carpools).

Only 2-axle vehicles are eligible.

You must use the same toll tag or same vehicle license plate for both tolls and can receive a maximum of two discounts per calendar day, per toll tag or vehicle.

Toll Plaza Speed Limits

Most FasTrak toll lanes on bridges have a speed limit of 25 miles per hour (mph). This limit is enforced by the California Highway Patrol. For Bay Area Toll Bridges with open-road tolling lanes (e.g., Benicia-Martinez Bridge), the posted speed limit is 55 mph.
