32K Golden Gate Bridge Tolls Overcharged

SAN FRANCISCO, CA —Around 32,000 toll transactions were overcharged crossing the Golden Gate Bridge over the past few months, a bridge district spokesman said.

The agency said some two-axle vehicles were mistakenly charged at the multi-axle vehicle rate, which is substantially higher.

The FasTrak rate for two-axle vehicles is $7.70 and $5.70 for those using the carpool lane.

The FasTrak rate for three-axle vehicles is $23.10 and $30.80 for four-axles.

Refunds are expected to go out in four to six weeks.

“We are working diligently to identify the affected transactions and will be refunding all customers with overcharged tolls due to this issue,” the Golden Gate Bridge district said in a statement.

“This problem represents less than one percent of all transactions over the past few months.”
