I'm a senior citizen living on a limited income...I cannot pay for the high tolls of the Verrazano Bridge ...I have not visited my children and grandkids in New Jersey for over three months because I can't afford the high toll charge. The Outerbridge Crossing added to this, makes a family trip impossible.

the MTA should give an adjusted rate to Brooklyn residents for the Verrazano Bridge and STOP taking a large % of the funds collected at VZ to fund and support MTA's Long Island rail road and Metro north

High bridge tolls discourage non-residents from seeking employment in Staten Island. This places Staten Island businesses and city agencies at a disadvantage in the labor market which leads to longer vacancies and hiring of less skilled workers. This is bad for everyone in Staten Island. A non-resident commuter discount would encourage more workers to seek employment in Staten Island.

My father watched that bridge go up when he was in the VA Hospital. They said it would be free, after a while. It's 2017.'Didn't the bridge open in the late sixties?
