What is BATA? The responsibility for the administration, operation and upkeep of the seven state-owned bridges that span the Bay is shared by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), in its role as the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA), and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans). The seven state-owned bridges are the Antioch, Benicia- Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael, San Francisco-Oakland Bay and San Mateo-Hayward bridges.

Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program Assembly Bill 144 by Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley) was signed by the Governor on July 18, 2005 AB 144 outlines a funding agreement to complete the Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program, and calls for raising Bay Area bridge tolls by $1 (to $4 for autos) starting January 1, AB 144 allows construction to move forward on the single tower, self-anchored suspension (SAS) span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge

BATA’s Expanded Responsibilities In August 2005 the California Legislature expanded BATA’s responsibilities to include administration of all toll revenue and joint oversight of the toll bridge construction program with Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission.
