"MTA's Crackdown: 44 Toll Cheats Nabbed, $1M in Unpaid Fees Seized"
TL;DR Summary
The MTA conducted a four-day crackdown on toll cheats, seizing 44 vehicles owned by persistent toll evaders who owe nearly $1 million in unpaid fees and fines. The vehicles had bogus out-of-state license plates or legitimate plates disguised by plastic covers. The MTA estimates a loss of $46 million in revenue due to toll evasion in 2022. The vehicles were impounded, and their registrations suspended until owners settle their debts. This enforcement effort comes as the MTA faces a budget gap and considers implementing a new congestion pricing scheme.
