Rate Change Effective June 21, 2025
The CBITD Board of Directors approved a rate change in May 2025 that will take effect on Saturday, June 21, 2025. Here are the important details all passengers should review ahead of June 21st:
- All vehicle tickets purchased at the current rate (on or before June 20th) will still be valid for 60 days from the date of purchase.
- The rate change establishes new Passholder Rate vehicle tickets.
- Annual Pass holders are automatically eligible to purchase Passholder Rate vehicle tickets beginning on June 21.
- Annual Pass holders can renew their passes at any time, as needed, as the Annual Pass will automatically confer eligibility to purchase Passholder Rate vehicle tickets beginning on June 21.
- Beginning on June 21, 90-Day Pass holders may choose to purchase a Vehicle Add-On at the time of their 90-Day Pass purchase. 90-Day Pass holders with this Vehicle Add-On are eligible to purchase Passholder Rate vehicle tickets.
- If you are a 90-Day Pass holder who needs to renew prior to June 21, and you wish to have the ability to purchase Passholder Rate vehicle tickets, you may want to consider purchasing a 30-Day Pass or single tickets as a ‘bridge,’ to delay purchasing a 90-Day Pass until June 21 when the Vehicle Add-On is available.
A summarized rate table is presented below.
