The DRBA and Cape May-Lewes Ferry Fare Proposal 2026

A virtual public hearing was held on February 9, 2026, at 6:30 pm to discuss proposed fare changes and modifications at the Cape May – Lewes Ferry. The changes include fare increases due to inflationary pressures and fare decreases to encourage multi-trip and family travel. Heath Gehrke, the Director of Ferry Operations, presented detailed slides of the proposed 2026 fare changes and answered questions attendees had regarding the proposal.

Fare proposals usually occur every other year to help reduce the ferry operating subsidy and introduce various fees and incentives. We extend our gratitude to all the participants in this public hearing, aiming to foster a comprehensive understanding of the proposal.
