914 Washington State Department of Transportation this weekend activated photo tolling on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge where previously drivers could stop and pay at a toll booth or use a Good To Go pass.

“We regularly hear from drivers, usually visitors from out of town, who unintentionally missed the toll booth and want to know what to do to pay the toll,” said WSDoT Toll Division Director Craig Stone. “Now, those drivers can pay the toll without being automatically fined and that money will go back to the Narrows Bridge instead of going to the court.”

The new Pay By Mail and Pay By Plate options allow drivers without a Good To Go! pass to use the electronic toll lanes. The registered owner of the vehicle will receive a toll bill in the mail. Drivers who don’t pay within 80 days will receive a notice of civil penalty for US$40 plus the accumulated tolls and fees. All money collected will go back to the Tacoma Narrows Bridge account.

That decision led the European Commission to publish a revised legal proposal in July, but the EC
