The con of iris fast track the plan to and the acceptance of cash told said state run a bay area bridges but now the return of bay area Traffic Congestion is expected to bring them and toll takers back at least for now kron fours Maureen Kelly explains. Its these eastbound fast track lanes of the benicia bridge that Bay Area Transportation planners what all the toll plazas that state run bridges to look like with no toll booths in the way to force commuters to reduce speed going completely cashless has been a long term goal that was expected to come to fruition over the next couple of years. And then coronavirus hit. Toll takers were ordered out due to safety and the planned to go to all electronic tolling went into effect immediately. The switch was made smoother by the fact that bridge traffic all but disappeared, but now is the bay area is beginning to reopen congestion is making a comeback traffic is coming back for about 70 of where we were before this covid19 can granny rentschler of the metropolitan Transportation Commission says theyd like to stay cashless, but there are still too many drivers not switching over to fast track. And in addition to contributing to backups at the bridges. Theyre also adding workload for the office staff which is also reduced to covid19 stuck with a tedious job of building those without fast tracked for the toll money they owe. And thats a job that gets more overwhelming the more cash paying drivers get back behind the wheel so they were going to fast track. This will happen way faster. So toll takers will return to the job in weeks rather than months how long they will remain is unclear, but its expected that accepting any type of cash at bay area bridges will be in the rearview sooner than originally planned and that could help with congestion if we ever get back to the old normal on the roadways anyway.
