As of July 15, expect to pay five cents more to cross the Golden Ears Bridge.
TransLink is preparing to implement their annual July toll increase from $3.05 each way if you have a Treo sticker to $3.10.
Pay as you go will increase from $4.30 to $4.35.
TransLink indicated that it is the rate of inflation that drives the annual increase.
When the bridge opened in July 2009, the toll for cars using a transponder was $2.75.
The number of drivers who took the tolled Golden Ears Bridge rose 6.2 per cent in 2014 and toll revenue climbed by $2.2 million to $41.6 million.
More vehicles crossed the Golden Ears Bridge than projected, due in part to the end of the introductory toll discounts on the Port Mann Bridge.
