E-ZPass is the fastest, easiest, safest, and–thanks to special E-ZPass-only discounts–cheapest way to pay tolls at Port Authority crossings.

E-ZPass is administered by an outside entity that coordinates the system for various agencies, including the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, the New York State Thruway Authority, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. For more information, or to enroll, please contact:

E-ZPass Discount Plans

Staten Island Bridges Plan

The Port Authority Staten Island Bridges Plan is $80 for 20 trips in a 35-day period at the Goethals and Bayonne bridges and the Outerbridge Crossing, or $4 per trip. This reduced rate is available to all E-ZPass customers with noncommercial plates who enroll in the plan. Unused trips cannot be refunded.

To register for the Port Authority Staten Island Bridges Plan, call (800) 333-8655 (New York Service Center) or (888 288-6865) (New Jersey Service Center). Be sure to have your account number or tag number and PIN for account access.
All E-ZPass customers with noncommercial plates who enroll in the plan are eligible.
Unused trips are billed to the account.

Carpool Plan

Carpooling is both eco-conscious and the most economical way to travel.

The Port Authority Carpool Plan provides the largest toll discount at the Port Authority bridges and tunnels. By carpooling, you save the most money and reduce the number of vehicles on the road.

The toll for Port Authority Carpool customers is $2 per vehicle at all hours.
You must have an E-ZPass account and you must register for the Port Authority Carpool Discount Plan.
To register for the Carpool Plan, call (800) 333-8655 (New York Service Center) or (888) 288-6865 (New Jersey Service Center). Be sure to have your account number or tag number and PIN for account access.
Three or more people must be in a vehicle to be eligible for the discount (no commercial vehicles qualify).
Customers must use a staffed "Cash-E-ZPass" toll lane and come to a complete stop so the toll collector can verify the number of occupants in the vehicle.

Green Pass

Travel off-peak in a low-emission vehicle with the Green Pass and save.

The Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan rewards drivers using low-emission vehicles with a substantial discount.

Drivers with qualifying vehicles who register for the Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan will receive a green E-ZPass tag and be charged a specially discounted toll during off-peak hours.

Green Pass customers are charged a $4 toll during off-peak hours.
To enroll in the Port Authority Green Pass Discount Plan, call (800) 333-8655 (New York Service Center). Be sure to have your account number or tag number and PIN for account access.
The Port Authority Green Pass discount only applies to Port Authority bridges and tunnels, though your Green Pass can be used at any crossing or road that accepts E-ZPass as a form of toll payment.
Vehicles that qualify for Green Pass are certified to the California Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) standard and achieve a United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more, or are pre-model year 2005 hybrid vehicles which are certified to the California Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standard and achieve a USEPA highway fuel economy rating of 45 miles per gallon or more.
