Governor orders transit agency to drop bid to charge NYC Marathon $750K for use of Verrazzano bridge
Briefly

Governor Hochul ordered the MTA to withdraw the $750,000 fee proposal on NYC Marathon for Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge use, emphasizing the marathon's significance to the city's spirit and unity.
She suggested alternate revenue sources like advertising on public transit for mass transit support to avoid hindering the marathon's traditional operation.
Road Runners argue the MTA benefits from increased transit ridership during the marathon week, countering the notion of toll revenue loss due to bridge closure.
