Bill > A05695

This bill requires the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (MTA) to establish a cashless tolling amnesty program and post their fee waiver policy on their website. Specifically, the amnesty program allows individuals, firms, corporations, or other entities who owe cashless toll fees to pay their tolls in full and have related violation fees waived for six months from the bill's effective date. Additionally, for a 180-day period, the bill caps toll violation fees at two times the original toll amount for the first 90 days, and three times the original toll amount for the next 90 days. The MTA must also make their fee waiver policy prominently visible on their website. The bill's provisions will automatically expire 180 days after enactment, but any rights or remedies granted during that period will remain valid. This legislation aims to provide financial relief and increased transparency for users of MTA bridges and tunnels with cashless tolling systems.
