If you don't have a FasTrak Account, you can pay your Golden Gate Bridge toll by opening a License Plate Account, making a One-Time Payment, or paying a Toll Invoice.
The toll increases are part of separate five-year programs that were approved by the Water Emergency Transportation Authority and the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District in recent years to address rising operational costs and low ridership numbers since the pandemic.
An unpaid Toll Invoice or any unpaid portion of a Toll Invoice will result in a Toll Violation notice which attaches a $25 penalty for each toll transaction associated with the unpaid invoice. If the first violation notice goes unpaid, a second violation notice will be issued, with increased penalties.

If you open an account with a valid credit card, FasTrak collects an initial prepaid balance of $25 per toll tag. Your account will automatically be replenished as needed. This is the easiest way to ensure your balance is maintained.
The registered owner will receive a violation notice in the mail (usually within two weeks). Each violation transaction is assessed a $57.50 penalty in addition to the toll amount due. If the registered owner has no previous violations, the penalties will be waived. This is a courtesy for first time violators only.
