WASHINGTON — A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey executive told lawmakers at a hearing Wednesday that a $12 toll for cars headed to New York City is “fair” but pointed out something that many drivers may think is unfair: Sen. Frank Lautenberg went decades without paying a single toll.
Lautenberg, D-N.J., who is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee Subcommittee on Surface Transportation, called the hearing to examine accountability and oversight in tolling practices, including toll increases that began in 2011.
But the 70-minute hearing quickly turned into a slugfest when Bill Baroni, deputy executive director of the Port Authority, pointed out that Lautenberg, who served as a commissioner of the Port Authority from 1978 to 1982, had for decades received a free pass for tolls.
That perk, he said, allowed Lautenberg to escape paying 284 tolls in the last two years that he had the pass. The authority discontinued the practice in 2006.
