Bridges and Tunnels tolls by vehicle

Feel free to update this table as needed.

If you want to get a tag but don't own a car, you can still sign up online. This is what the rep told me to do. Falsify info on your cars plates, make and model (for the plate# write the first two letters of your family name with the last 4 digits of your cell number, year: current year, make\model: choose any), and once you have an account just log in and remove that car from your profile.

For those who visit NY regularly, there are two cost advantages of getting an EZpass in NY (from NYSTA - thruway, or MTA) rather than NJ (PANYNJ): (1) to avoid the $1 monthly fee and (2) lower price on certain tolls - see red in chart above  The discounts you will lose out on for not having the NJ pass in NJ are minimal (a couple of cents on the NJTP during peak hours). Another third advantage (about being able to pay as you go rather than maintaining a balance) is below.

If you sign up and have the EZPass mailed to a NYC address and don't have any PANYNJ plans added when they mail it, you wont get a PANYNJ tag. (If you don't live there, ask a friend/relative who lives there to receive the tags for you, and use his address. Afterwards, you may change the address to your home address in NJ (or wherever), and add whichever plans you want. This was suggested to me by EZ Pass, and it works.)

Add the Port Authority Staten Island Bridges Plan (PASI), which makes bridges between Staten Island and NJ (Outerbridge, Bayonne, Goethals) 50% off the peak rate when crossing 3 or more times a month. There is nothing to lose as if you don't travel 3 times they simply adjust it to charge you the regular EZpass price. I believe it takes 24 hours from when you call for it to activate and its per 30 day period not monthly. You can add this plan on the website (in case the phone hours aren't convenient or you just plain don't like calling in general). Log in and choose "Plans" from the links on the left side of the page.

Another plus to having MTA issuing authority is that you can use PPT (pay per trip). Under this plan, you can keep a $0 balance in your EZ Pass account, and have tolls deducted from your bank account at the end of each day (by ACH). Downside is no miles for paying tolls, credit card is only a backup for when the ACH fails. (And if ACH fails even once you lose PPT plan and have to keep a debit balance in your account, so you can't have the miles & PPT :) )

Note that the the regular discounts for EZPass holders on the PANYNJ crossings now only apply to "New York" or "New Jersey" tags (as opposed to  EZPass in other states) per: https://www.panynj.gov/bridges-tunnels/en/tolls.html


To return an extra tag for NY MTA Authority:

Please return your tag(s) to:
P.O. Box 149001
Staten Island, NY 10314
along with a letter that states your Name, signature and E-ZPass account number.
For further assistance please contact (800) 333-8655 to speak with a Customer Service Representative.

Thanks. Is here a reason to assume  it missed it if the transponder  was on the front dash?
It happens a lot. But usually you can have them knock off the charges if you show that your transponder was charged for all of the rest

Is is true I can't put a car rental  from enterprise on my own ez pass ? When I called  to register  it they said it's already  registered  under enterprise  so I can't put it on my account. Enterprise  wasn't  any help either. Any solutions ? And the times I went thru the toll is it that it read my transponder  or will I get charged  from enterprise ?
Last time a I rented I couldn't add it to my account anymore, EZ pass and Enterprise told me it's no issue.

Once I received a ticket (at a time that I was registered) and I told Enterprise that I had my E-ZPass, they didn't ask me for proof and waived their penalty but still had to pay the toll (as standard out of state you most pay violations) to be clear, my E-ZPass wasn't billed at that particular toll barrier

Any activation needed when using a new ezpass or just stick it and drive through an EZ-Pass?

Anyone know if signing up through https://www.e-zpassny.com/en/signup/step1.shtml will result in a MTA or Thruway tag? I'll be shipping to a NYC address. Doesn't seem possible to sign up directly through MTA or Thruway as those redirect me to the above.

Nope. Added a rental plate when I opened my account and as soon as registering my E-ZPass I removed that plate number.

This thread has so much outdated information its not funny, and in the wiki you have pearls of wisdom predating 2014, this place deserves a cleanup.

You weren't afraid someone was going to rent that car and go through a tolless ezpass? Or you had that rental for a while?

Some bad news for people like myself that take advantage of the Carpool plan on the NJ-NY crossings. Coming in 2019, the Goethals and Outer bridge will go cashless. The means carpool rates will no longer be available.   :(
http://www.panynj.gov/bridges-tunnels/cashless-tolling.html

ETA: Changed Bayonne bridge to Outer Bridge as the Bayonne is already cashless.

That means all routes going from Brooklyn to lakewood?
 Isn't there a business plan to load onto your ez-pass account which has even cheaper rates then carpool if you go 3+ times a month?

The plan you are referring to is PASI and it's not related to business, at least AFAIK. The plan has the same rate as carpool, which is $6.50 if you make 3+ trips per month. I believe that plan will still be available, but many people don't make the 3 trips a month.

ETA: PASI is actually sightly cheaper at $6.25 and its only for non commercial plates.
