Just prior to the May 20 informational meeting for residents on North Ferry’s rate hike request, a report on the issue from the Suffolk County Legislature was released. The county’s Budget Review Office determined that the increase is “reasonable” in view of the company’s 2020 financial results and projects for 2021.
“The current rate structure is insufficient … to meet the costs of its capital and operating expenses,” according to the report.
“The requested fare increases have merit, and although will not eliminate the risk of an operating loss, should provide sufficient capital for maintaining current levels of service for the public,” the report concluded, saying the request for rate relief should be granted.

Islanders with questions and comments about a proposed rate hike that North Ferry is requesting will have an opportunity Thursday evening, May 20, between 6 and 8 p.m. to speak to ferry and elected officials via Zoom access.
The Town’s Ferry Study Group is hosting the session that will include North Ferry Manager Bridg Hunt, Heights Property Owners Corporation General Manager Stella Lagudis, Town Board members, Suffolk County Legislator Bridget Fleming (D-Noyac) and, perhaps, others.
The proposed increase calls for residents who get discounted tickets to pay an additional $1 each way, while those who pay full fares would have to pay an additional $2 each way. As a give back, the company is offering to charge only two passengers in a vehicle for fares instead of the current fares received from up to three passengers.
