NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The MTA collected a record-breaking $900,000 from chronic toll-evading drivers on Thursday.
The agency used specialized license plate readers to identify drivers with suspended licenses due to unpaid tolls — pulling over 32 drivers over the course of the day, including 28 on the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge.
The enforcement action also represented the most vehicles ever impounded in a single day at an MTA crossing.
“Thanks to all Bridge and Tunnel departments for their coordination in this revenue protection effort, and this banner day goes a long way towards securing revenue that is reallocated to support MTA mass transit,” said MTA Bridges and Tunnels President Daniel DeCrescenzo Jr. “Drivers must understand, if they do not pay their toll, they may be subject to registration suspension and loss of their vehicle.”
