Layoffs, toll hike possible for Golden Gate Bridge

The Associated Press

Published Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009

SAN FRANCISCO -- Officials for the financially struggling Golden Gate Bridge may get rid of toll takers, raise tolls and start charging cyclists and pedestrians to help overcome a $132 million budget deficit.

The Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District says fewer drivers mixed with cuts in state funding have contributed to its money woes.

The money generating and cost cutting ideas are being mulled by the district's board, who will debate each idea before voting. If approved, the actions would be phased in over the next four years.

If approved the jobs of 34 toll takers would be eliminated in coming years. Tolls would raise another $1 in 2013.
