Outrage in New York City grew after the MTA revealed it has lost $5.1 billion in unpaid tolls over four years. This loss surpasses expectations for potential revenue from a proposed congestion toll in Midtown. Labor leaders criticized the MTA for not collecting from toll violators, placing the burden on law-abiding citizens. The MTA's figures showed that the uncollected tolls could lead to further financial shortfalls, culminating in significant annual unpaid toll collections as congestion pricing is introduced.
They can't even collect their unpaid tolls, so they're going to make it up by socking us with congestion pricing. Right now, the law-abiding working people are paying for them.
The authority estimated total uncollected 'toll violations' at more than $1.4 billion in 2024 alone and $3.7 billion combined from 2021 through 2023.
