The Senior Citizen Discount Bridge Toll Program  allows you to pay a reduced fare on bridge tolls run by the Delaware River Port Authority (also called DRPA). The discount can be used at any time on the following 4 bridges:

  • Benjamin Franklin
  • Walt Whitman
  • Betsy Ross
  • Commodore Barry

The discount amount is half the full price of the toll. You must always be in the car when the discount is being applied. You can use the reduced fare on passenger vehicles only. Commercial vehicles cannot get the discount.

Please note: If you misuse the discount in any way, DRPA has the right to request the full cash value retroactively for all transactions for which a discounted toll had been previously charged.
