New York’s Staten Island Tolls on Port Authority-managed bridges and tunnels, including as the Goethals and Bayonne bridges and the Outerbridge Crossing, will go up on Sunday.
Depending on the payment method, the precise increase will change. This month, drivers using E-Zpass should anticipate a 4.4% increase in tolls. The charge for those who pay for personal vehicles utilizing Tolls by Mail will go up by about 3.9%.
Most drivers will pay $14.06 to enter New York during off-peak hours as a result of the recent changes. Drivers will be charged $16.06 during peak hours.
The Port Authority’s website states that peak hours for all personal vehicles are from 6 to 10 a.m. and 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends. Any further times not specified are regarded as off-peak.
The Staten Island Bridges discount scheme will also increase by 4.4% for borough residents.
As long as they cross Port Authority bridges at least three times in a month, Staten Islanders who are registered in the program will soon pay $8.03 every journey, regardless of the time of day.
As long as they make at least three trips every month, anyone participating in this program only pays $7.69.
Drivers should anticipate paying the whole toll if they only make one or two visits.
In a similar vein, drivers should anticipate paying higher tolls on the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike, despite the fact that they are operated by separate agencies.
For both of New Jersey’s principal state highways, this is the seventh toll hike in the past four years.
