I drive to or through NYC fairly often. All the bridges and tunnels now have EZ Pass only (no toll booths).

One thing this allows them to do is charge non-residents more. If your EZ Pass unit was not issued by Albany, all tolls are higher.

I’m sure that the next step, easily done, will be higher tolls at rush hour times.

I wonder if the legality of the higher tolls are somehow tied into the EZ Pass unit - if, for example, you are an out of state driver and you DON’T have an EZ Pass unit, are the photo tolls also higher?

I would think that’s unconstitutional, to have a border fee for a state.

I make a point of never traveling within the jurisdiction of the New York Port Authority.
