What is a Bridge Pass?

Why should I buy a Bridge Pass?
Using a Bridge Pass saves you time. It's more convenient. It will also keep track of the number of times you use the bridge.

How does a Bridge Pass work?
When approaching the toll plaza, Bridge Pass users go through any lane. As you approach the toll gate, your Bridge Pass number is read by a computer system that checks your account to make sure there are enough funds to pay the toll. If your account has sufficient funds, you get a green traffic light and the toll gate rises automatically. When your account balance falls to the minimum balance, you get a yellow and green light and the toll gate rises. That means you need to make a deposit to your account. (If there is not enough money in your account to pay the toll, you get a yellow and red light and the gate does not rise. A toll attendant will explain how to pay the toll and replenish your account).
