If you’re crossing the tolled bridges over the Ohio River, you’ll now be paying more.The rates went up July 1, as they do each year.One organization is calling on Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb to step in to help cut costs. It’s been a point of frustration for many citizens — RiverLink toll bridge prices being raised annually and having to pay for tolls when other bridges across the area are shut down. After the tolls were increased by 3.4% on Monday, or 9 cents a crossing for most cars with a transponder, the community organization Hoosier Action is now calling for Kentucky and Indiana’s governors to mandate Riverlink alleviate the cost through an online petition.“The main things we’re trying to focus on are whenever there’s a bridge closed to make the toll bridges free because a lot of times it impacts people’s daily commute and it can make them late to work or they can end up owing money when they don’t expect to. Another one is that there’s financial hardship applications or, you know, more specific payment plans for people that are low income,” said organizer Nathan, who wished not to share his last name. In a statement, Riverlink says in part, “Toll rates were established in 2013 by a bi-state Tolling Body. Rates and annual adjustments ensure the financial obligations of the Bridges Project are met, including the operations and maintenance of the bridges.”Toll rates for these bridges increase by 2.5% annually, unless the rate of inflation is higher. This is part of the bi-state resolution.While this year’s 3.4% increase is a decrease from last year’s 4.9% increase, organizers said the increase is still impacting their wallets. “So for me personally, it is just you know, if I, you know, keep working the job I work, you know, it might be, a week’s worth of groceries or something if you know, if I take the toll bridge,” Nathan said.For more information on this petition, click here.
