“Modified” Cross Bay Bridge Resident Rebate Program starts this July!


The resident rebate program previously in effect used MTA funds to rebate the tolls of registered Rockaway E-ZPass customers who reside in Broad Channel and the Rockaway Peninsula for passage over the Cross-Bay Veteran’s Memorial Bridge will end in July 2010.


Under the revised program MTA funds will be used to provide registered residents with toll rebates after two resident E-ZPass tolls have been charged against a resident E-ZPass tag in a calendar day.

MTA funds will be used to credit that account for all subsequent tolls on the bridge that same day that are associated with the same resident E-ZPass tag.

Basically, you will be required to complete two crossings of the bridge for which your E-ZPass will be charged and then all other crossings will be rebated for that calendar day.

Keep in mind that the U.S. Postal Service’s Broad Channel sub-station office, which was located in Wharton’s on Cross Bay Boulevard, closed last May when the store did not renew their contract with the Postal Service. As of this time, we have no information on any other Broad Channel business which has bid for this contract.
