LARKSPUR (KCBS) – Ahead of Super Bowl 50, people who ride on the Golden Gate Ferry system may notice a security-related change.

District officials said the bag checks will be the norm for the next two weeks.

"The best thing to do is to get near the gate, have your Clipper Card in one hand and your bag open in the other. So that if you are selected for a random screening, it won't take that long," David-Clemens added.

The district also says parking spots at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal have been filling up quickly, so passengers should arrive early.
