Every year the cost of maintenance and transit services goes up and the toll program helps the Highway and Transportation District keep up with the rising costs of goods and services, Cosulich-Schwartz said. The revenue goes towards paint and steel for the bridge and fuel for the Golden Gate Transit and the Golden Gate Ferries, he explained.
