Almost all gone: A brief history of the Port Authority toll booth
Earlier this month, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced that the agency would deactivate the last of its toll booths and implement a new state-of-the-art all cashless tolling system at the Lincoln Tunnel.
This is set to happen on Sunday, Dec.
11 and once activation of the new toll system is in effect, it will be the completion of a multi-year $500 million capital project to upgrade the toll collection system at all six agency crossings to a fully cashless system.
This “out with the old, in with the new” concept brings back a lot of memories of what the Port Authority toll booths used to look like.
Let’s take a ride through history, shall we?
In 1928, there were no toll lanes, no toll booth attendants, and just a few toll booths, according to an article written by Amanda Kwan at the Port Authority.
