Cross Bay Bridge Toll Rebate Change July 23

Effective Friday July 23, 2010, there will be changes to the Rockaway Resident Rebate program as a result of service cuts instituted by the MTA Board to help close a nearly $800 million budget deficit.

The first two trips taken on each E-ZPass tag between 12:01 AM and midnight on any given day will be charged a resident rate of $1.19 per trip. After the first two trips, all other Cross Bay crossings on the same tag on the same day will be rebated.

Each tag on an account (up to four allowed per account) will not be charged more than a total of $2.38 during a 24-hour period between 12:01 AM to midnight. Please make sure there are funds in your account to cover these charges.
