Description
The Washington State Transportation Commission said Wednesday afternoon it is considering two different toll rate changes to the state Route 520 floating bridge that would take effect later this summer.
The commission said it will push two proposals for toll rate increases along the SR 520 bridge for the public to consider in an online survey from April 17-May 1.
- Uniform 10% rate increase for weekdays and weekends
- "Tailored" rate increases for weekday and weekends
Shiv Batra, commissioner of the Washington State Transportation Commission, said Wednesday the benefit of a uniform increase would be for simplicity. The benefit of the second proposal, Batra said, is that "tailored" increases would reflect recent travel trends while limiting the increases during peak periods.
