OAKLAND, Calif. — The Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) reminds drivers of big-rig trucks and other vehicles or combinations with more than two axles that their one-year exemption from the 2010 toll increase on the region's toll bridges has now expired. The first step in the two-phase toll increase for multi-axle vehicles took effect at 12 a.m. July 1 and will remain in place through June 30, 2012.

During this period, the toll for three-axle vehicles or combinations on the region's seven state-owned toll bridges rose from $6 to $10.50. Tolls for four-axle vehicles rose to $14 from the previous $8.25; tolls for five-axle vehicles climbed to $18 from the previous $11.25; tolls for six-axle rigs went up to $21 from the previous $12 and tolls for vehicles with seven or more axles increased to $24.25 from the previous $13.50.

On the Golden Gate Bridge, toll rates for customers who pay cash are now set at $13 for three axles; $18 for four axles; $22 for five axles; $27 for six-axles; and $31 for vehicles with seven or more axles. Discounted tolls for customers who pay their tolls with FasTrak are now $11.25 for three axles; $15 for four axles; $18.75 for five axles; $22.50 for six axles; and $26.25 for vehicles with seven or more axles.
