Buses, Carpools (THREE or more people) and Motorcycles with FasTrak transponders receive discounted toll crossing ($3) on weekdays (except holidays) from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Eligible vehicles must have a valid FasTrak tag and an account in good standing and stop in a staffed lane for toll collector verification to receive the discounted toll. Vehicles with dual tires are NOT eligible as carpools.
To receive the FasTrak discount toll during these hours you must have a valid FasTrak toll tag and stop in a staffed toll lane. If you are a FasTrak customer and use the "FasTrak Only" toll lanes on the left side of the toll plaza, you will be charged the standard FasTrak toll. To avoid being charged the standard toll, keep a valid FasTrak toll tag in your vehicle,- do not use a “FasTrak Only” toll lane and stop in a staffed toll lane,for toll collector verification.
The Golden Gate Bridge does not have dedicated carpool lanes.The Golden Gate Bridge carpool policy requires three or more people for two key reasons: to enhance traffic congestion and to remain within the budgetary requirements of GGBHTD.
Clean Air Vehicles
Clean Air Vehicles registered by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) as a Clean Air Vehicle and displaying the official WHITE DMV decal (shown below) are allowed the FasTrak discounted carpool toll ($3) during carpool hours only, even if there are fewer than three people in the vehicle. That is, single- and double- occupant vehicles displaying the WHITE DMV decal qualify for the discounted toll rate during carpool hours.
At the Golden Gate Bridge, vehicles with the DMV Clean Air Vehicle decal must pass through a staffed toll lane, the driver must stop and show the toll collector their visible decal and have a valid FasTrak toll tag in the vehicle for payment of the discount toll. For official information about qualifying vehicles and DMV registration, call 800-242-4450.
DMV Clean Air Vehicle Decal
Hybrid Vehicles
The YELLOW DMV decal stickers for hybrid vehicles expired on June 30, 2011.
Any single- or double- occupant hybrid vehicle must still pay the full toll at all times, since it does not qualify as a carpool vehicle on the Golden Gate Bridge. Tolls can be paid by using FasTrak or cash. To qualify for the discounted carpool toll, hybrid vehicles must have a valid FasTrak account, be carrying a valid transponder, and be carrying three or more people.
