Tolls for pedestrians/bicyclists on bridges

[Mr. Matté]

In a lot of instances of pedestrian walkways or bikeways on tolled bridges for motor vehicles, peds/bikes usually don't have to pay a toll. There are some instances where they would have to pay a toll:

• Newell Toll Bridge between Liverpool, OH and WV- the sidewalk goes right by the toll house so someone is there to collect the 5 cent toll for pedestrians
• Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls- there's turnstiles that require coins to pass through but fare evasion is probably a little harder because there's Customs on both sides (not that they'd be required to intervene)
• The unusual ones I know of are in Maryland for the Hatem and Nice Bridges - the state's agreement apparently requires cyclists to pay the full vehicular toll to cross these bridges. If the cyclist doesn't bring their EZ-Pass, they would have to go to the bridge's administration office and pay there, or mail the payment to Philadelphia for some reason. This would seem to be more like the honor system unless there's a MDTA cop watching you very intently.

I couldn't find any other instances of a toll bridge being specifically tolled for peds/bikes. There were some musings of tolling peds on the Golden Gate Bridge in the past due to crowding (since quashed by a new CA state law banning tolls for pedestrian bridges) and for the new Interstate Bridge between Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA but that's just more of certain politicians wahh-wahhing that cars would be tolled and muh bikes tear up the road too!

I had to pay a $1 toll to walk across the bridge from the end of US 57 in Eagle Pass TX to Piedras Negras in Mexico.

The Bridge of the Gods across the Columbia River east of Portland, Oregon, used to charge a 50¢ toll for cyclists and pedestrians, but they now cross for free (seems reasonable for pedestrians, at least, given that there is no walkway and they have to walk in the road facing traffic). Motorcycles used to be charged 50¢ but now pay $2.

The Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls charges $1.00 per pedestrian or bicyclist. That's on top of also going through customs/border security.

The website for the Bellevue toll bridge between Nebraska and Iowa lists a $0.50 toll for bikes and motorcycles.

I believe during the period I lived in the Omaha area, the Plattsmouth toll bridge had a bike toll, because I witnessed a group pay to use it, but can't verify what the current situation is.
