How Visitors can Pay the Toll

Short Term Account
Drivers can set up a Short Term Account within 72 hours of using the SR 520 Bridge or Tacoma Narrows Bridge to save 50 cents off the Pay By Mail toll rate for each crossing.

Short Term Accounts don’t require a pass or pre-paid amount. Just register the vehicle license plate and your tolls will be charged directly to your credit or debit card. Use the account for up to 14 days and then it automatically closes.

Open a Short Term Account online, by calling 1-866-936-8246 or at a customer service center.

Pay By Plate - Add a visitor to an existing Good To Go! account
An existing Good To Go! customer can temporarily add their visitor’s license plate to their account without installing a pass. Vehicles without a pass will be charged the Good To Go! pass toll rate plus an extra 25 cents fee per toll transaction.

How Pay By Plate works: existing customers can log into your online account or call customer service to add a vehicle’s license plate, make and model to a Good To Go! account.

Pay By Mail
With Pay By Mail you’ll travel now and pay later. When crossing the SR 520 Bridge or Tacoma Narrows Bridge, without Good To Go! account, we’ll send a bill in the mail to the registered owner of the vehicle at a higher toll rate.

To use the SR 167 HOT lanes, solo drivers must open an account and install a Good To Go! pass in their vehicle. Pay By Plate, Short Term Account and Pay By Mail are not available.

 
Out of State Drivers

Out of State Drivers
Drivers with license plates from out of state can set up a Good To Go! account or choose to receive a bill in the mail. WSDOT has reciprocal agreements with other states to identify the owners of out-of-state vehicles and will send them toll bills.

Frequent Drivers
Frequent drivers should set up a Good To Go! account to pay the lowest toll rate.

Rental Cars
Each rental car agency may have a different policy surrounding how they process tolls or pass them along to their customers, so be sure to check with your rental agency’s before incurring tolls.
