Golden Gate Transit and Ferry Seek Public Input on Proposed Five-Year Fare Programs
The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District (District) has scheduled a series of virtual public meetings to receive comments on proposed five-year fare programs for Golden Gate Transit and Ferry. The proposed fare programs will help the District keep up with inflation and the rising costs of providing bus and ferry transit service.
Golden Gate bus and ferry ridership remain down by approximately 55%. With declines in Golden Gate Bridge toll revenue and transit ridership, the transit fare programs would provide needed funding that helps the District maintain transit service through the region's economic recovery.
The programs include four options for modest fare increases that may be modified based on comments received at the public meetings. Each option currently includes a 50% discount off adult cash fares for youths, seniors, persons with disabilities, and low-income riders who participate in the Clipper Start program.
Based on public comment, the District Board of Directors may consider adopting the proposed fare program at their March 2023 meeting, with any new program beginning in July 2023. The last five-year fare program expired in July 2021 and no fare increases were made in 2022.
