All MTA bridges and tunnels use cashless tolling. All vehicles drive underneath the gantry and pay with E-ZPass® or receive a bill in the mail. Drivers who use E-ZPass can save between 30-50 percent. Here's how it works:
With E-ZPass
Whenever you pass underneath a toll gantry, a radio transmitter inside your E-ZPass will communicate with overhead sensors. This automatically creates a bill for you at the discounted rate. There are a number of ways to pay:
- Link to credit card or bank account
- E-ZPass Pay Per Trip
- Pay with cash
Without E-ZPass
When you pass underneath a toll gantry, cameras will photograph your license plate, and a bill for the non-discounted toll will be mailed to the registered owner of your vehicle.
Be sure to pay any toll bill you receive promptly, because people who don’t pay will be subject to fees of up to $100, registration suspension, and more.
To find out more about these options and which is best for you, read our Ways to Pay information.
