For those crossing the Blue Water Bridge regularly, take note that the tokens are being phased out and the Edge Pass will soon be the only way to get the discounted commuter rate.
The Michigan Department of Transportation is enrolling customers in the Edge Pass Program which will be linked to debit or credit cards. Cash is getting phased out at the border crossing.
The Edge Pass will provide a reduced rate of $2.50 per toll for non-commercial vehicles heading east on the Blue Water Bridge. Edge Pass users will have access to a dedicated toll lane and will be able to monitor their accounts online 24 hours a day.
Tokens will no longer be accepted as of July 1st, 2022. There is a token redemption program available through the Federal Bridge Corporation Limited, which manages operations on the Canadian side of the bridge. There are many tokens still in circulation. The tokens can be exchanged at the Blue Water Bridge Corporate Centre in Point Edward, Ontario, the Exchange House at Blue Water Bridge, and the Duty Free Store at Blue Water Bridge.
The token exchange will credit ConneXion accounts for westbound travel on the Blue Water Bridge.
