FBCL last increased Canadian toll rates in November 2018.
In making its decision, FBCL management considered the traffic patterns over the past year and the disparity between currency rates.
Rates at Blue Water Bridge are reviewed semi-annually and the next toll rate and U.S. equivalency review is scheduled for April 1, 2021. This toll rate policy is aligned with other international crossings, where tolls are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, based on economic needs and the value of the exchange rate, on a regular basis. Given how the impact of restrictions on non-essential travel is affecting FBCL operations, the Corporation continues to reserve the right to revise its rates at any time as deemed necessary in the future.

FBCL owns, manages and operates international bridges and associated structures in Sault Ste. Marie, Point Edward, Lansdowne (Thousand Islands) and Cornwall, Ontario. FBCL's mandate is to provide the highest level of stewardship so that its international bridges and associated structures are safe and efficient for users.
