SAN FRANCISCO (KRON)–Lawmakers are looking to raise the toll fee on several Bay Area bridges to cut back on traffic congestion.
The toll hike could reach up to $8 on most bridges and $9 on the Bay Bridge.
A recent poll found more than half those surveyed support the toll hike.
Legislators in Sacramento are drafting a ballot measure to put before voters in 2018, that could generate $375 million annually for major improvements.
The list of improvements includes adding more BART car, fixing troubled highway interchanges, and an additional 30 new ferry boats.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:
