SR 520 Bridge
SR 520 toll rates will increase 2.5% across the board, starting July 1, 2012.
This increase is part of the Commission's original rate plan which they enacted on January 5, 2011. For details on this, please refer to the current regulation.
Please refer to the detailed rate tables to determine what individual toll rates will be starting July 1, 2012.
Tolling on the SR 520 Bridge started on December 29, 2011. As you pass through the tolling area (center of bridge deck) the system automatically detects your "Good To Go" pass (transponder) or license plate going both directions. The proper amount is deducted from your "Good To Go" tolling account. Those without a pass such as visitors or other infrequent users will be billed by mail. For more information read SR 520 Toll Rate Fact Sheet (pdf 693kb), watch the video, or visit Good To Go to see how tolling works on the SR 520 Bridge.
Adopted rates for two-axle passenger vehicles are below. Please refer to the detailed SR 520 Toll Rates and Policies to see the rates for larger multi-axle vehicles. The entire Chapter WAC 468-270 is availble at the Washington State Code Reviser:
