Do other regions offer free tolls for carpools?
No. While discounted tolls for carpoolers are quite common around the country, BATA and the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway & Transportation District are the only major toll agencies currently offering free passage for carpools. This tradition began in the 1970s, when auto tolls on the Bay Area’s state-owned toll bridges ranged from just 40 cents at the Carquinez and Benicia-Martinez bridges to 50 cents at the Antioch Bridge; 75 cents at the Dumbarton, San Mateo-Hayward and Bay bridges; and $1 at the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
