About us
We serve more than 920,000 vehicles on an average day. In 2023, we carried more traffic than any bridge and tunnel authority in the nation—more than 336 million vehicles. Surplus revenues from our tolls help support MTA public transit services.
All of our crossings use cashless, electronic tolling systems. This lets us process traffic more quickly and safely and reduces carbon emissions and fuel consumption.
