ST. IGNACE, MI-- Be prepared to use plastic or a pass if you want to go over the Mighty Mac.
Starting Saturday the Mackinac Bridge Authority will not accept cash transactions, in accordance with state COVID-19 recommendations. Drivers will need to use a credit or debit card or use a MacPass card or windshield sticker.
The MBA and toll staff will be encouraging the transition to non-cash payments over the next few days until cash is no longer accepted.
If drivers wish to pay with credit or debit cards, the toll collector will hold the credit card device out to the driver so they can insert their card. Drivers will not need to hand their cards to the toll collector.
The MBA previously announced suspension of its driver assistance program and snowmobile, passenger and bicyclist transportation programs as part of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
