Cars$5
Each extra axle$5
Trucks and buses$5.25 per axle
EDGE Pass Commuter$0.50 discount per crossing

The increased toll revenue will go toward offsetting increased maintenance and operations costs as well as toward funding construction improvements for the BWB plaza.

“This increase is the second in a planned, staggered increase that began in 2024. While not required, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) previously chose to engage the public and regular commuters before making a final decision regarding rate increases. Following an overwhelming response from a public survey, BWB administration implemented the first $1 rate increase on Dec. 1, 2024, with this next $1 increase beginning this Dec. 1. This overall rate increase follows 14 years of no changes to toll rates for commuter and commercial vehicles,” said MDOT.
