Lawmakers in New Jersey and New York are introducing legislation to curb fees for toll violations.

If the bill goes into effect, drivers who receive fewer than two violations in a 90-day period would be liable only for the toll itself, not the additional fee of $50 per toll.

For those with two or more violations, the law would require any fee to be in line with the real cost of processing.

“This isn't just about inconvenience. It's about a system where a missed toll can often quickly turn into a fee, one that can be far greater than the toll itself,” says Republican state Assemblyman Paul Kanitra. “Too often, the people hit hardest are not repeat offenders. They're ordinary drivers who made a mistake or were caught in a system failure. That's not how the system was meant to work."

If the legislation is passed, it would apply to the Port Authority toll crossings.
