In order to recover construction and operating costs, the bridge is electronically tolled. The toll rates increased to $1.60 for motorcycle, $3.15 for cars, $6.30 for small trucks and $9.45 for large trucks on August 15, 2015.[35] Through increased prices and greater traffic, Transportation Investment Corporation (TI Corp), the public Crown corporation responsible for toll operations on the Port Mann Bridge, forecasts its revenue will grow by 85% between fiscal years 2014 and 2017.[36] These fees are assessed using radio-frequency identification (RFID) decals or licence plate photos. A B.C. licensed driver who owes more than $25 in tolls outstanding 90 days is penalized $20 and is unable to purchase vehicle insurance or renew drivers permits without payment of the debt.[37] Out-of-province drivers will also be contacted for payment by a US-based contractor.[38] A licence plate processing fee of $2.30 per trip will be added to the toll rate for unregistered users who do not pay their toll within seven days of their passage.[39] Monthly passes, which allow unlimited crossing on the bridge, are available for purchase.[40] Users may set up an account for online payment of tolls.[41] Users who opt for this method receive a decal with an embedded RFID to place on their vehicle's windshield or headlight and avoid paying a processing fee.[42] Tolls are expected to be removed by the year of 2050 or after collecting $3.3 billion.[citation needed ]
