Staten Island, NY – Staten Island drivers are finally getting some significant toll relief.

The Port Authority yesterday approved a plan to give E-ZPass users on its Staten Island bridges a steeply discounted toll price that kicks in after drivers make three crossings in 30 days.
Under the plan, every trip will cost $4.75 following a third crossing.
Currently, the same trip costs E-ZPass users $9.50 during peak hours and $7.50 during off-peak hours.
E-ZPass technology will retroactively lower the price of the first two trips so that all crossings within the 30-day time frame will get the discounted rate.
This is not just for S.I. residents.
From the Post:
“The discounts, available to anyone with a New York- or New Jersey-issued E-ZPass, cover only the Outerbridge Crossing, Bayonne and Goethals bridges.”
I fail to see the logic why Staten Island residents are more entitled to a break on the Verazanno bridge then us Brooklynites. This is absolute discrimination. Furthermore, we should also get a break on the Battery tunnel like they get a break on the Outerbridge and Goethells. Brooklyn!! – rise up and protest. We can’t tolerate these high tolls any longer any more so than the Staten Islanders!!!
How much could I make rafting people from brooklyn to staten island
