NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Drivers skipping out on paying tolls at MTA tunnels and bridges should be aware that transit authorities are cracking down.
Bridge and Tunnel officers pulled over 17 people at the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge on Wednesday "for continuous toll evasion," the MTA confirmed to 1010 WINS Thursday.
According to the agency, the drivers had crossed the bridge "scores of times" while ignoring their toll bills, accumulating a total of $420,000 in unpaid tolls and late fees. One driver owes nearly $60,000.
The officers seized their cars from the bridge and impounded them. Twelve additional vehicles were also seized at area crossings in the past day, officials said.
The impacted drivers were allowed to continue their journeys without their vehicles.
