Tribal Member FAQ

What do tribal members need to do to ensure they can cross the bridge without paying a toll? 

Tribal members must:

  1. Fill Out the Online Registration Form  here. If you already have a BreezeBy pass, do not complete this form. Instead, contact the Port office directly at 541-386-1645 or BreezeBy@portofhoodriver.com to update your account.
    • The Port will waive the account setup fees for eligible individuals.
  2. Provide Proof of Eligibility: Present documentation to the Port to confirm your eligibility for toll-free passage.
  3. If you prefer to complete the application in person, you can pick up a paper application at the Port office located at 1000 E Port Marina Drive, Hood River, OR 97031.
What type of proof is required to confirm eligibility? 

 You must present one of the following:

  • A current tribal enrollment card (for tribal members).
  • A tribal government employee badge (for tribal employees).
  • A CRITFC employee badge (for CRITFC employees).
Where and how can I submit my proof of eligibility? 

Proof can be submitted to the Port using the online registration form, or via email to BreezeBy@portofhoodriver.com if you already have an account. Be sure to include your BreezeBy account details when submitting documentation.

What happens if I don’t open a BreezeBy account? 

Vehicles not associated with a BreezeBy account will be charged the standard toll. If the toll is not paid, enforcement measures may apply. However, you can dispute the charge by providing proof of tribal membership.

What is the deadline to open a BreezeBy account? 

While the Port has not announced a specific deadline, it is recommended to sign up and provide proof as soon as possible to ensure uninterrupted toll-free passage.

Who is eligible for toll-free passage under this policy? 

Toll-free passage is available to:

  • Members and employees of federally recognized tribes.
  • Employees of the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (CRITFC).
Is this policy applicable only to certain tribes? 

The policy applies to members and employees of all federally recognized tribes and CRITFC employees.

What if I already have a BreezeBy account? 

If you already have a BreezeBy account, submit your proof of eligibility to the Port, and they will update your account to reflect toll-free passage.

Is the toll waived at the Bridge of the Gods for tribal members? 

Tribal members are still required to stop at the Bridge of the Gods toll booth to provide proof of tribal membership.
