Proposed 2026 Toll Increase & Carpool Policy Changes | Bay Area Toll Authority
The Bay Area Toll Authority is considering a toll increase that would be phased in over five years—beginning in 2026—that would be used to pay for the maintenance, rehabilitation and operation of seven state-owned toll bridges. BATA also is considering updates to the policies for use of the carpool lanes on bridge approaches.
