SAN FRANCISCO – A Bay Area lawmaker is proposing a new bill aimed at ensuring that bridges throughout the state remain toll-free for pedestrians and cyclists.

Assemblyman Phil Ting has introduced AB 2669 to guarantee that walking and biking across publicly owned California bridges, including the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, remains free of charge.

“We want to ensure that we have this right in perpetuity for cyclists and pedestrians to ensure that they can walk and bike across the bridge freely without being worried about paying a toll,” said Ting.

With so much of the same on the market, choosing a gift that will stand out is hard. Let’s elevate this gift-giving season. Repair kits, bike lights, and helmet covers are defaults…just in case all else fails.
