Some drivers using the Bay Area’s seven state-owned toll bridges could face tolls as high as $11.50 by 2030.

The Bay Area Toll Authority on Wednesday heard a proposal that would phase in a series of toll hikes over five years starting in 2026, at which point FasTrak users would pay $8.50 to cross the Bay, Antioch, Benicia, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael and San Mateo bridges. Tolls would then increase by 50 cents each year over the following four years.

Drivers who use a license plate account or invoiced tolling would pay slightly more.

The table below provides a toll price breakdown for regular two-axle cars and trucks.
