Pensacola News Journal reports, “Escambia County has slashed the price of an annual pass to Pensacola Beach.” At its March 16 meeting, county commissioners voted to reduce the fee for an annual Bob Sikes Bridge SunPass account from $50 to $20. The newspaper adds that the costly move is intended to get more cash-paying motorists to switch to using SunPass in hopes that will reduce toll plaza traffic congestion.
