Oregon Toll Calculator
Oregon’s tolling system is unique. It does not have a network of toll roads like many other states. Instead, tolls are limited to two specific crossings: the Bridge of the Gods and the Hood River Bridge.
This tool is for planning purposes only. Toll rates are subject to change. Always confirm costs with the official bridge authorities before traveling.
What Is the Oregon Toll Calculator?
The Oregon Toll Calculator is a trip planning tool that helps you estimate toll costs based on:
- Start and end points – entry and exit locations on tolled corridors
- Vehicle type – car, motorcycle, truck, or commercial vehicle
- Payment method – electronic transponder, license plate billing, or future toll accounts
- Trip type – one-way or round trip
By entering these details, the calculator shows:
- Estimated toll amount
- Distance covered on tolled sections
- Savings when using electronic payments vs. plate billing
Current and Upcoming Oregon Toll Roads
Unlike states with established toll networks, Oregon is only beginning its tolling program. The Oregon Toll Calculator will be especially valuable as these projects roll out:
- Abernethy Bridge Toll (I-205, near Oregon City)
- Planned tolling to fund bridge replacement and improvements.
- I-205 Corridor Tolls
- Expected to include multiple toll points to reduce congestion and support upgrades.
- I-5 Rose Quarter Project (Portland area)
- Proposed congestion pricing to manage heavy traffic through downtown.
- Regional Congestion Pricing Programs
- Long-term plans include tolling high-traffic corridors in Portland.
As tolling expands, the calculator will help drivers understand costs before they travel.
Example: How the Oregon Toll Calculator Might Work
Let’s say you’re planning a drive across I-205 once tolling begins:
- Vehicle: Standard passenger car
- Route: Oregon City to Stafford Road (approx. 7 miles)
- Electronic payment (transponder): About $2.00
- License plate billing: About $3.00
That’s a potential 33% savings when using an electronic payment method.
Why Use the Oregon Toll Calculator?
- Plan your commute costs – Ideal for daily drivers in the Portland metro area.
- Budget for long trips – Know what you’ll pay before hitting the road.
- Compare payment methods – See how much you save with electronic accounts.
- Help for businesses – Trucking and delivery companies can estimate expenses more accurately.
- Stay ahead of changes – Oregon’s toll program is evolving, so estimates matter.
Payment Methods in Oregon
Oregon is expected to support all-electronic tolling (no cash booths). Payment options will likely include:
- Transponders (like E-ZPass–style devices): Fastest and cheapest option.
- License plate billing: Cameras record your plate, and a bill is mailed.
- Online accounts: Drivers can prepay and manage trips digitally.
Note: Unlike states in the E-ZPass network, Oregon is creating its own system, but future interoperability with other states may be added.
Tips for Using the Oregon Toll Calculator
- Enter exact start and exit ramps for precise toll estimates.
- Check round trip costs if you commute daily.
- Select the right vehicle class – trucks and RVs will pay more.
- Compare payment methods to maximize savings.
- Stay updated as new tolling projects go live.
