Commuters will now be paying more on MTA
bridges and tunnels at major crossings.
E-ZPass customers crossing the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, the
Hugh L. Carey Tunnel, the RFK Bridge, Throgs Neck Bridge and Verrazano-Narrows
Bridge will need to pay $6.55, up from $6.12.
Those who pay their tolls by mail will see an increase from
$9.50 to $10.17.
E-ZPass account holders who do not use or mount their tags
properly will also have to pay the new mid-tier toll of $8.36.
The MTA approved the toll hike in February. The toll
increase is expected to raise about $62 million this year for the MTA.
