NAC's Jeff Gillenwater has posted a tolling compendium. We hate to say it, but we told you so.
Bridge Toll Rates
With a transponder
• $1 for frequent users in non-commercial vehicles.
• $2 for passenger vehicles.
• $5 for a medium truck.
• $10 for a heavy truck.
Registered video of license plate
• $3 for passenger vehicles.
• $6 for a medium truck.
• $11 for a heavy truck.
Unregistered video of license plate
• $4 for passenger vehicles.
• $7 for a medium truck.
• $12 for a heavy truck.
These are one-way prices, folks.
Meanwhile, WFPK surveys the carnage here, but the News and Tribune's Elizabeth Beilman has a better sense of the pure, irony-free sleaziness involved with today's revelation of tolling details.
