- Commercial (including dual tire pick-up, RVs): This class covers commercial vehicles, including dual-tire pickup trucks and Recreational Vehicles (RVs) with two axles, reflecting a higher toll due to their size and weight.
- Trucks/Buses/Dual tire RVs: Larger vehicles like trucks, buses, and dual-tire RVs fall into this category, with tolls increasing based on the number of axles to account for their greater impact on the infrastructure.
- Trucks: Heavy-duty trucks are charged based on their number of axles, with rates significantly higher for larger, multi-axle vehicles to reflect their load and wear on the bridge.
