Maine State Ferry fares increase 18.4% from August 1 due to rising operating costs and inflation.
Maine State Ferry fares will increase by 18.4% for the first time in five years from August 1, due to rising operating costs and inflation. The Maine Department of Transportation expects further fare increases later this year to cover staffing shortages that have led to trip cancellations. Currently, fares and parking pay for half of the service's operating costs, with the State Highway Fund subsidizing the other half.
