Good to Go A Good to Go sign from WSDOT.

WASHINGTON — The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is offering reduced tolls for certain stretches of highway.

Applications are now open for the new low-income discount program. It will provide qualifying drivers with a 50% discount on tolls for trips on the State Route 509 Expressway in SeaTac and SR 167 Expressway in Fife.

Qualifications

Drivers must have a gross household income, before taxes, of no more than 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. For a single driver that would be an annual income of $31,920 or less; or $66,000 or less annually for a household of four people.

How to apply

Drivers can apply online at MyGoodToGo.com.

Applicants must provide a copy of their vehicle registration and an income verification document such as an award letter from specific income-qualified programs or a copy of their most recent tax return, specifically Form 1040.

Participants will need to re-enroll in the program every 12 months.

When will the discount go into effect?

The discount goes into effect when tolling begins on the SR 167 Expressway in December.

What does the discount cover?

It will only discount trips on the SR 509 Expressway and SR 167 Expressway.

At this time, WSDOT says discounts are not available for trips on other tolled roads, such as the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, SR 99 tunnel, SR 520 bridge, or the I-405 or SR 167 express toll lanes.

KIRO 7 reached out to WSDOT to learn whether discounts will be considered for other roadways in the future and, at the time this was written, had not heard back.
