Remember, there are three ways to register for the tolling system with varying levels of discounts!

1. Lease a Quickpass transponder and save 30% off the standard toll rate. (Transponders are $1 a month plus a $10 refundable deposit.)
2. Register as a Quickpass video customer and save 15% off the standard toll rate. (You don’t carry a transponder and your license plate is read by cameras.)
3. Pay as you go and pay the standard toll rate.

The toll revenue helps pay for the capital and operating costs of the bridge, which provides time savings for motorists and new transit connections between communities north and south of the Fraser River.
