Toll hikes at bridges and tunnels run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are going up $1 across the board. The Port Authority Board voted unanimously to approve the increases Thursday night.
E-ZPass tolls in off-peak hours will go from $11.75 to $12.75. During peak hours, the tolls will rise to $14.75 from $13.75. For those who get tolls delivered by mail, the rate will go from $16 to $17.
All the crossings officially went cashless as of December, so if you don’t have E-ZPass, your license plate will be scanned as you cross, and bills will be sent to you in the mail.
The increases are part of the proposed $8.3 billion budget proposal for 2023.
The board also voted to approve single-ride fares on the Air Train. The 25 cents increase would take place in March of 2023.

The question is: if you come across with 3 people in the car, and then you’re left with only 2 people after they take your firstborn son to pay the toll, do you still qualify for the carpool discount?
This definitely seems to be a shill article to meet legal requirements for notification or something.
The fact the article doesn’t include basic info like which bridges are run by the port authority and when the last hikes were tells me this.
Shall Jitney be raising passenger fares in honor of this?
