The Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) is a state agency created by the California State Legislature in 1997 to administer tolls on the San Francisco Bay Area's seven state-owned toll bridges. On January 1, 1998, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the transportation planning, financing, and coordinating agency for the nine-county region, assumed BATA's responsibilities. In August 2005, the California Legislature expanded BATA's responsibilities to include administration of toll revenues and joint oversight of the toll bridge construction program with Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission.2

The story

In December 2020, The Bay Area Toll Authority announced that starting in 2021, a new all-electronic toll collection system would be launched at the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael, San Francisco-Oakland Bay and San Mateo-Hayward bridges. This would not affect the statements of bridge customers using FasTrak toll tags or a License Plate Account, but patrons not enrolled in these programs will now receive a monthly invoice for all toll bridge crossings.
