Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge Begins Split Tolling

The MTA is reminding motorists that split tolling on the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge went into effect Tuesday morning.

The split tolling went into effect 12 a.m. in accordance with federal law and the MTA Board’s approval.

Tolls will be collected in both directions, ending more than 30 years of federally mandated one-direction tolling on the bridge.

Motorists entering Staten Island and Brooklyn will be charged an effective rate of $6.12 of NY-issued E-ZPass users, $9.50 for tolls by mail, $2.75 post rebate for Staten Island residents and $1.70 for Staten Island carpool customers.

The effective toll for a round trip and the Staten Island resident discount remains unchanged.
