N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 553-f: Tokens

§ 553-f. Tokens. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of law,

but subject to agreements with noteholders and bondholders, the

authority shall offer for sale tokens with respect to residents of the

county of Richmond and may, except as otherwise provided herein,

regulate the use thereof. Tokens for residents of the county of Richmond

shall entitle the purchaser to crossings over the Verrazzano-Narrows

bridge at a reduced cost of eighty per centum of the regular crossing

fare imposed on nonresidents of the county of Richmond. In the event the

authority shall impose a surcharge in addition to the regular toll for

crossings over the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge, such surcharge shall not

be deemed a part of the regular crossing fare for purposes of this

section, and the tokens offered for sale to the residents of the county

of Richmond as herein provided shall also entitle the purchaser to a

permanent exemption from the payment of any such surcharge in an amount

equal to the amount of any such surcharge imposed during calendar year

nineteen hundred ninety-three. Application for such tokens or other

payment devices shall be made in such manner as prescribed by the

authority and shall contain such information as the authority may

reasonably require.
