Commuter Tax: Drivers question true destination of taxes and tolls
A survey by AAA Mid-Atlantic, released the same week the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey could approve a toll hike for its Hudson River crossings, shows that drivers are skeptical that all money they pay in gas taxes and tolls goes to fixing roads and bridges.
Late Monday, Chris Ward, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, released a statement saying that the agency was standing firm on its proposal to increase Hudson River crossing tolls by $4 in September and an additional $2 in 2014, and to hike PATH rail fares by $1.
