TACOMA — New toll charges on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge take effect July 1 after the state Transportation Commission adopted a two-step increase.
The commission decided Wednesday night to raise tolls by 50 cents this summer and another 50 cents next summer.
Rates on the 8-year-old bridge over Puget Sound will increase on July 1 to $5 for Good To Go! electronic payment, $6 cash at toll booths and $7 for pay-by-mail.
Tolls are collected on the eastbound bridge and currently range from $4.50 to $6.50 for a passenger car, depending on how drivers pay.
