What are the tolls collected on the seven state-owned bridges used for?
Tolls collected on the state-owned bridges are used to finance a number of transportation activities and projects on and near the bridges. BATA administers $2 of the $5 toll to cover the operations and maintenance of the bridges and for Regional Measure 1 and Regional Measure 2 projects. Caltrans administers the additional $3 seismic surcharge, which pays for the seismic retrofit of the state-owned toll bridges, including the replacement of the eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
