Port Authority Introduces Toll Adjustments

By Idy Perl
New toll adjustments from the Port Authority of NY and NJ are
going into effect next week, on July 6th.
On that date, the Tolls by Mail rate will increase at all
Port Authority crosses for regular vehicles and motorcycles, classes 1,7, and
11. To avoid those increases, commuters are encouraged to sign up to E-ZPass so
get the discounted rates.
In addition, a Mid-Tier toll rate is being introduced which
will add an extra charge for drivers whose E-ZPass tags aren’t mounted properly
on their windshield. If the tag isn’t mounted for a proper reading, there will
be a slightly higher charge to cover the extra cost in processing the
transaction. However, the Mid-Tier rate is still lower than the Tolls by Mail
rate.
