Two new laws offer many drivers a break on the cost of going over bridges.
Two new laws will bring Bay Area bridge toll discounts to lower-income families and veterans in 2023.
A person living alone making less than $27,180 in 2022 — or twice the federal poverty level of $13,590 — would qualify for relief. For a family of four, households making less than $55,500 in 2022 — or twice the federal poverty level of $27,750 for a daily of four — would qualify.“We shouldn’t be saddling Californians with unrelenting debt just for driving to work,” Assemblymember Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat who sponsored the waiver bill, said after Gov.
Drivers seeking waivers will have to contact FasTrak and demonstrate their income. The details on how to do that are still being worked out, said John Goodwin, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.
