STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The borough’s new congressional representative has introduced her first bill, legislation aimed at lowering tolls for Staten Islanders using money generated through split tolling.
On Friday, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) introduced the Resident Toll Commuter Relief Act, a bill that, if passed, would require agencies like the MTA to use any additional revenue generated through split tolling to provide lower tolls or fund rebates for residents on both sides of the bridge.
