Governors Andrew Cuomo and Chris Christie offered to back a $4.50 toll increase for the bridges and tunnels operated by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey after deeming a higher proposal “unacceptable.”
The port authority said its board, whose members are appointed by the two governors, will vote today on the plan that includes a $1.50 increase effective next month. The agency runs the George Washington Bridge and other spans between New York and New Jersey, the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, and airports including John F. Kennedy International.
