BATA History
In 1997, BATA was created by state law to administer a $1 base toll on the Bay Area's seven state-owned toll bridges.
In 2004, BATA took over management of the Bay Area's FasTrak electronic toll collection program.
In 2005, state law expanded BATA's responsibilities to include administration of all toll revenue from the region's state-owned toll bridges. BATA, along with Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission, also administered the state Toll Bridge Seismic Retrofit Program.
