Public hearings on hikes to GWB tolls, PATH fares are today
Residents who want to weigh in on the Port Authority’s proposed toll and fare hikes can do so today during an online public hearing or in person at one of eight hearings in New Jersey and New York City.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey wants to raise tolls on the George Washington Bridge and the Lincoln and Holland tunnels this year. Drivers with E-ZPass would pay $4 more per crossing — $12 during peak times and $10 in off-peak hours. Cash tolls would jump from $8 to $15. (Saeed, Gannett)
