A county councillor in Neath Port Talbot is urging drivers who use the Severn Bridge to donate the money they no longer spend on tolls to charity.
John Warman, 74, who campaigned for years to end the tolls, travels to Bristol three or four days a week in his capacity as a self employed-researcher.
He is now collecting what would have been the Severn Bridge toll fees into a jar to donate to charity at the end of the year.
He said: “I am so used to crossing the Severn Bridges and taking the money to hand at the toll booths I still have the habit of thinking the booths are still there.
“I now regularly put the equivalent of what would have been the toll fee in a jar for charity.
“I would urge other Severn bridge users, if possible, to do the same.”
Councillor Warman started the Campaign Against Severn Tolls in 2002 which later became one of the groups behind the National Alliance Against Tolls.
Over the years he lobbied Westminster MPs and in 2009 petitioned the Welsh Assembly, giving evidence before the Commons Welsh Affairs committee a year later.
He represents the Cimla ward.
