" LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- A two-state board that delayed setting tolls for new Ohio River bridges between Louisville and southern Indiana is meeting to consider the matter again on Wednesday in Louisville.      The Kentucky-Indiana Joint Board meets at 10 a.m. EDT in Louisville, with the Kentucky-Indiana Tolling Body meeting to follow at 11 a.m.      Public comments will be heard during both meetings.      Electronic tolls are planned for new bridges downtown and east of Louisville as well as the existing Kennedy Bridge.      A recent Kentucky highway report indicated tolls could range from as little as $1 for frequent commuters to as much as $12 for some truck drivers."

Ohio River Bridge Tolls to be approved

Courier Journal Report : Ohio River Bridge tolls to cost $1 to $12
"Passenger vehicles without prepaid accounts would pay $4 to cross.
The most expensive $12 fare would be paid by heavy trucks without prepaid accounts.
There won’t be toll booths or an opportunity to pay cash when crossing the bridges. Instead, drivers will be charged when they pass under gantries.
Those with electronic transponders attached to the windshield will have the toll deducted from their account. Cameras will read the license plates of those without transponders to settle the bill."
