The Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District will vote Friday whether or not to raise the Golden Gate Bridge toll by $2. With car traffic, along with bus and ferry ridership, way down because of the pandemic, the agency is facing a $48 million deficit. Officials say federal emergency funds being used to pay employees will run out at the end of this month. We’ll get the details.

Guests:

Mallory Moench, staff writer, San Francisco Chronicle

Denis Mulligan, general manager, Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District
