Beginning April 22, the Bob Sikes Toll Plaza Customer Service Office will offer Saturday service from 9 a.m. to noon. The office is located inside the Santa Rosa Island Authority, located at 1 Via De Luna Drive. The additional hours will facilitate a greater number of annual passes being purchased due to the recent reduction in cost.
At the Thursday, March 16 commission meeting, the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners approved a reduction in the Pensacola Beach general public annual pass, reducing the annual fee from $50 to $20. The fee reduction will become effective Monday, May 1. The board's action does not impact the ability to choose to pay the cash toll of $1 for single trips or the other Pensacola Beach Annual Pass rates. The homestead pass will remain at $5 and the commercial pass, $70. No refunds will be given for any general public annual passes purchased prior to the new fee rate.
