The 16-2 vote advanced a plan to raise rates 50 cents annually through 2028. The agency is facing a $220 million five-year deficit.
Cars pass through the toll plaza at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, June 27, 2022. The price to cross the Golden Gate Bridge is set to bump up 50 cents on July 1, bringing the rate for two-axle vehicles to $10.25.
Board members Dick Grosboll and James Mastin dissented. Mastin said he thinks the 50-cent increase is “unreasonable,” and that a 40-cent raise would be “defensible” because it is more in line with other increase plans. Golden Gate Bridge officials announced in December that they faced looming budget deficits that were exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that they needed to consider five-year toll increase plan again.
“It will take additional revenue just to maintain current operations and fund the district’s capital projects,” said Denis Mulligan, general manager of the district. Absent additional revenue, Mulligan said, the district would need to “greatly curtail bus and ferry service.”
