The Jacques Cartier Bridge was federally owned and operated, which is why the National Harbours Board — not the City of Montreal or the Province of Quebec — administered its tolls. These small blue receipts were issued to drivers crossing the bridge and served as proof of payment rather than as currency, though they circulated informally in the same way transit tokens did. The toll itself was abolished in 1962.
