California single-trip oversize permit fee

$16

That is the California single-trip transportation permit fee. Caltrans charges it for one movement, from a single origin to a single destination, in one direction.

Official FAQ: “Single Trip* ($16): 7 Consecutive Days Duration. A single trip permit is from a single origin to a single destination in one direction of travel.”

CTPS card fee 2.3% is checkout, not the permit.

This page covers general single-trip permits. Variance and the $50-per-hour special service charge for extra-wide, extra-long, or special-hauling equipment are a separate product.
