AGENDA ITEM WORDING
Public hearing of an ordinance concerning Card Sound Road Bridge tolls in order to
provide that persons purchasing a book of 400 commuter tickets shall pay $.25 per
axle as the toll.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
A small portion of travelers on the Card Sound Road make a daily trip in excess of 300 days
a year. Providing them a wholesale price of $.25 per axle will reduce their average cost per
year while not significantly reducing toll income. These books will only be issued in $100
amounts thereby reducing printing costs. Coupon ticket books of $10 and $20 will still be
available for the $.40 per axle price. This will be for a one-year period to assess impacts on
revenue to support the maintenance of the bridge and road.
