The Port of Hood River is planning to resume tolling on the Hood River-White Salmon Interstate Bridge on May 1, and will implement a pay-by-license-plate billing system for all vehicles that do not have a BreezeBy transponder.  About seven days after a vehicle crosses the bridge, a pay-by-plate toll bill will be sent in the mail to the registered owners of that vehicle with charges for the $2 base toll rate plus a $3 ancillary fee per crossing, utilizing a system that is designed to normally be used to detect cars that go through without paying a toll.  Port Executive Director Michael McElwee said they have received some criticism for the plan, but the bridge needs to get back to generating some revenue to pay for its operation and maintenance.  McElwee estimated that the Port has lost $600,000 to $800,000 in tolls since they had to stop accepting them due to safety concerns for toll-takers.  McElwee is emphasizing that BreezeBy still provides the lowest rates, and accounts can be set up at portofhoodriver.com.  He also says there will be the ability online and through the pay station at the Port’s marina office to avoid the ancillary fee without BreezeBy.
