MTA Votes to Hike Bridge Tolls in NYC

It's going to cost you more to drive into and out of New York City.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board voted Wednesday to increase tolls in an effort to close it huge budget deficit.

Cash tolls on the RFK Triboro Bridge as well as the Throgs Necks and Whitestone Bridges will rise from $5.50 to $6.50. E-ZPass will go up to $4.80.

You won't be able to escape the hikes by heading to the Henry Hudson Bridge, either. There, cash tolls will increase from $3 to $4. E-ZPass will cost you $2.20.

The increases will take effect January 1.
