Malliotakis warns of toll beaters in Cuomo bridge plan
Lawmaker says MTA should be on guard against cheaters
A plan by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to eliminate toll booths on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and other New York City crossings is winning praise from a lawmaker whose district crosses between Brooklyn and Staten Island.
State Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis said she generally supports Cuomo’s plan to install an automated toll collection system on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
“I’m supportive of any measures that will alleviate traffic and reduce the headaches of travels. Whether on a long trip or a daily commute, almost every New Yorker has experienced the frustration of toll plaza bottlenecks. Using this technology will improve traffic flow and reduce gas emissions,” she told the Brooklyn Eagle.
