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 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 think brandy 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 toll, takers will return to the job in weeks rather than months, but its expected that accepting any type of cash at bay area bridges will be in the rearview sooner than originally planned whats likely to take place. Is that were going to have the toll takers back. For some given period of time. And then were going to convert though the bridges back to our magic to collection and then later well take out the tool to infrastructure taking out the toll booths themselves will likely take years. But eventually open road tolling is expected to make crossing the state run bay area spans. Less of a stop and go experience. Maureen kelly kron 4 news.
