The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's board is set to vote Wednesday on a resolution to increase the cost of tolls on its nine bridges and tunnels.
Cash tolls on major crossings, including the Queens Midtown Tunnel and Throgs Neck Bridge, would climb from $5.50 to $6.50 - an increase of about 18 percent.
E-ZPass customers would pay $4.80 at major crossings, an approximately 5 percent increase over the current price of $4.57.
If approved, the new tolls would take effect Dec. 30.
