We’re working with city and state law enforcement agencies to crack down and make sure these selfish drivers pay.” “Toll-dodging drivers cost the MTA an estimated $50 million every year – funding that could be reinvested in modernizing the transit system and our shared infrastructure. “People who evade paying tolls on MTA bridges and tunnels are ripping off millions of New Yorkers who play by the rules,” said MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber. The partners have surged efforts to combat deliberate attempts to prevent tolling cameras from identifying license plates through increased enforcement and by sharing information and best practices to identify bad actors on the road. Motorists who use fake, obscured or covered license plates to avoid paying tolls in the New York City region are the targets of a collaborative effort between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Bridges and Tunnels (B&T), New York City Police Department, New York State Police, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) and New York City Sheriff’s Office.
