Western Washington commuters will soon see increased tolls when traveling across the State Route 520 Bridge.
On Thursday, August 15, the Washington State Transportation Commission will implement new toll rates, which will fluctuate depending on the time of day.Tolls will increase by an average of 10%, with more consistent rate variations. Adjustments will range from a decrease of $0.10 to an increase of $0.70, depending on the time of day.These new toll rates come after the State Treasurer determined that current rates would be insufficient by July 2025.
During the meeting, only one member of the public joined the virtual call and provided input, speaking for a total of three minutes.The new toll rates are intended to ensure adequate funding for the state's transportation infrastructure, addressing the projected financial shortfall while aiming to distribute the impact more evenly across different times and days.The best way to pay tolls in Washington is through a GoodToGo! account, which can be created online.
