Public Hearing on Proposed Cape May–Lewes Ferry Fare Changes

The Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) invites the public to participate in a virtual public hearing regarding proposed fare changes for the Cape May–Lewes Ferry.

The intent of the hearing is to discuss the goals and objectives of proposed fare changes at the Cape May – Lewes Ferry.  Among the changes to be considered are fare adjustments to reflect inflationary pressures and selected fare decreases to encourage family and multi-trip travel at the bi-state agency’s southern crossing facility.  

"We typically introduce a fare change every other year, which is designed to help reduce the operating subsidy of the ferry, but also to make travel for families and multi-trip passengers more affordable over time,” said Heath Gehrke, Director of Ferry Operations.  “This year, we are holding a virtual public hearing to get some feedback from our guests as we move to implement some proposed changes.  We are interested to hear what the public has to say.”
