Golden Gate Bridge tolls, fares set to increase

Golden Gate Bridge tolls will rise on Monday and continue to go up for the next four years.

The 50-cent hike, which will repeat every year through 2028, is part of a plan to address a projected $220 million budget deficit over the next five years, according to the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District.

The rate increase is expected to narrow that gap by providing about $139 million of new revenue, but there will still be a shortfall.
