Golden Gate bridge tolls
A reader asks:If you live in Marin county, is there a monthly pass to get across the Golden Gate Bridge, or do you pay 5 dollars a day everyday?
Our reply:
No, there are no monthly passes for the Golden Gate Bridge which connects Marin County to San Francisco. And the days of buying booklets of discounted bridge "tickets" have gone away with the new FasTrak system. It is $5 to cross the bridge at the time of this writing but costs only $4 with FasTrak.
By putting a credit card on file with the district, you receive a transponder to put in your car's window. Then your card is charged in $40 increments, and $4 is deducted every time you cross the Golden Gate Bridge. This transponder now also works for all 8 of the Bay Area bridges including the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge, and the Carquinez Bridge which connects Napa County to Contra Costa County.
