Effective July 6, 2025, drivers using Port Authority crossings into New York will see significant changes in toll rates and discount programs, according to a newly released update from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Key Changes:
- A new “Mid-Tier” toll rate will be introduced for all vehicle classes.
- Tolls by Mail rates will increase for Class 1 (passenger vehicles), Class 7 (trailers), and Class 11 (motorcycles).

Where the Changes Apply:
The toll adjustments affect the following crossings:

- Holland Tunnel
- George Washington Bridge
- Bayonne Bridge
- Goethals Bridge
- Outerbridge Crossing
Tolls are only collected when entering New York; crossings into New Jersey remain toll-free.

- Staten Island Bridges Plan (PASI): Significant savings for Staten Island residents making 3+ trips.
Example:
A Class 1 vehicle under PASI pays only $8.03 per trip after three trips in a month—versus $14.06 for a standard E-ZPass off-peak trip.
Motorists are urged to review the new rates in advance and consider enrolling in discount programs or E-ZPass to minimize toll costs.

What is happening – WARNING IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A TAG OR IT IS UNREADABLE FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE NEW MID TIER RATE – I do not see a word about this in your article.
Saving the license plate number to your account will not help. They are doing this because there is a lot of work involved in license plates readers charging accounts. Also there is no overnight truck rate in class 1 you need to change it to cash rate
PASI is for anyone including Staten Island residents. The only bridge that Staten Island residents get cheaper is the Verrazano.
I’m assuming a Tesla qualifies for the green rate? How do I co form that and make myself eligible?
