Toll gates at the Big Apple’s bridges and tunnels will disappear next year as a cashless system is rolled out, Gov. Cuomo announced Wednesday. The new system will be set up beginning in January at the Queens-Midtown and Hugh Carey tunnels, and then throughout the year at the Rockaway, RFK, Verrazano-Narrows, Throgs Neck and Bronx-Whitestone bridges. The system will collect money from drivers using E-ZPass. Those without E-ZPass will get their license plates recorded and receive a bill within 30 days. They will have 30 days to pay. All license plates will be scanned and scofflaws will be ticketed immediately. Toll collectors will be reassigned to work with state police in enforcing the ticketing. “Today’s development is strong and long overdue,” Cuomo said about the effort to speed up traffic and boost security. “Why are you still pulling up to a tollbooth, stopping the car, handing your money to a person who puts it in a drawer, makes change and hands it back to you?” he said.

Since I have no idea who dfw really is, I will have to say I have no idea.
I think tax per mile is on it’s way. Within 10 years for sure.
Too funny. You were obviously being very sarcastic. Either that or you only stay in your small town in Florida.
I hope I am not related to you ...
I know. But what about folks who don’t have one, don’t want one and are moving from place to place for three or so months?
I was hoping for free roads
I see. Thanks!
Maybe people who live lives like that will learn to be a bit more responsible.
So my wife who is a travel nurse is irresponsible?
You just admitted that you know you can easily sign up for an electronic bill for toll programs in the country.
You answered your own question.
You’ve missed the whole point. We do have the EZ Pass. How many don’t because of security concerns among other issues. Let’s just drop it. Not worth the effort.
Oh please. Bunch of whiners on here. Oh, woe is me, because the government isn’t going to hold my hand.
GROW UP! We are the party of responsibility. Take responsibility.
