Thursday is the day tolls increase for crossing the Hood River/White Salmon Interstate Bridge.  Port of Hood River Commissioners approved the increase in December.  Base toll rates for passenger vehicles will double for cash-paying customers, going from $1 to $2 per crossing.   Bridge users that have signed up for the Port’s prepaid BreezeBy tolling system will see a smaller increase, with the passenger vehicle crossing rate going from 80 cents to $1.  Toll rates depend on vehicle class.  For information on signing up for the BreezeBy system, go to portofhoodriver.com, with the first transponder free and additional transponders available for $5.  Those who sign up can expect to receive new transponders in the mail within two to three business days.  In voting for the toll increase, the Port Commisson dedicated all new toll revenue to the Port’s Bridge Repair and Replacement Fund.
