Truck Tolls * USA - To soar next two years in San Francisco
San Francisco,CAL,USA -Land Line Magazine, by David Tanner -June 18, 2010: -- One year from now, truckers will pay significantly more to cross certain bridges in the San Francisco area. The current toll of $11.25 for a five-axle vehicle will increase 60 percent to $18 in 2011 and another 39 percent to $25 in 2012... The Bay Area Toll Authority set the new toll rates in January on all seven of its bridges: the eastbound lanes of the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez and Carquinez bridges and westbound lanes of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo-Hayward bridges... The authority is also implementing a congestion-pricing plan to charge higher tolls for cars during peak times on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge... Toll dollars pay for operations, maintenance and administration for the authority as well as debt reduction and seismic retrofits to shore up the bridges against earthquakes...
