Toll Authority approves measure to further increase Bay Area bridge tolls starting in 2026

The Bay Area Toll Authority approved new toll increases for Bay Area bridges on Wednesday, tacking on new charges for 2026 — despite an increase already set to start in 2025, as well as commissioners’ concerns about budget transparency, and resistance from the public.

The tolls already set to increase on the first day of 2025, approved by voters as part of Regional Measure 3 in 2018, will go from $7 to $8 for two-axle cars and trucks and motorcycles driving across any of the seven bridges in the Bay Area.
