Tolls on the Verrazano Bridge
Lower the cost for the Verrazano Bridge
Why is this important?
New Yorkers were promised the Verrazano Bridge would be free after it was paid for. The bridge was opened in 1964, nearly 50 years later, I'm sure the bridge has been paid for and then some. The toll just keeps increasing, $15.00 to get to another borough?! When will it end? Since I have been using the bridge, the toll has increased at least $2.00 a year. That means by the year 2020 we will be paying nearly $25.00 to get to Staten Island. This has to stop now, tolls need to be cut.
