Cashless Tolling Has Cost the MTA Millions Due to Unpaid Fees and Fines, Audit Shows


By Kenneth Lovett

ALBANY — As the state has moved to cashless tolling, tens of millions of dollars in MTA bridge and tunnel tolls and fines have gone unpaid, a new audit by state Controller Thomas DiNapoli found.

The audit found that while MTA Bridges & Tunnels generally attempted to collect unpaid tolls, $11.3 million was written off or uncollected from November 2012 through January 2017.

In addition, auditors found $72 million in unpaid fees that were supposed to be attached to tolls that went uncollected on the Henry Hudson Bridge from 2013 through 2015.
