History and operation
The District was incorporated in 1929 to design, construct, and finance the Golden Gate Bridge. The District's territory includes the City & County of San Francisco, Marin County, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Del Norte counties.
The District's transit and ferry service augments local bus transit routes operated by public and private carriers within each county, as well as private ferry service across San Francisco Bay.
The District's largest revenue source is a $5 toll on the southbound lanes of the Golden Gate Bridge leading into San Francisco(as of Tuesday, September 2, 2008, the toll has now risen to $6.00). A surplus from the bridge operation, as well as government subsidies, is used to support bus transit and ferry service.

The District is headquartered in San Francisco. Its Board of Directors has nineteen members who represent all six counties. [cite web|url=http://goldengate.org/board/|publisher=Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District|title=Board of Directors|accessdate=2007-10-27]
