Just a reminder - December 30th MTA Bridge/Tunnel Toll Increase!

Nicole Weedon, one of our neighbors here on West 12th Road, emailed to remind us that...

"Toll rates at all MTA Bridges and Tunnels crossings will increase effective at 2 AM on Thursday, December 30, 2010.  MTA operates the Bronx Whitestone, Throgs Neck, Verrazano Narrows, Cross Bay Veterans Memorial, Marine Parkway-Gil Hodges, Henry Hudson and RFK Bridges as well as the Brooklyn Battery and Queens Midtown Tunnels. As an example of the new toll rates, E-ZPass customers driving a 2-axle passenger vehicle will be charged $4.80 per crossing at the Bronx Whitestone, Throgs Neck and RFK Bridges as well as at the Brooklyn

Battery and Queens Midtown Tunnels. Cash customers will be charged $6.50. At the Verrazano Narrows Bridge the new E-ZPass charge for these customers will be $9.60. Cash customers will be charged $13."

Also keep in mind that, effective December 30th, residents of Broad Channel who pay cash to travel back and forth to Rockaway will see the present $2.75 toll rise to $3.25.   Broad Channel residents who utilize E-Z Pass will see the present Resident E-Z Pass discounted toll rise from $1.13 to $1.19.

Thanks Nicole.
