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

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

but subject to agreements with noteholders and bondholders, the

authority shall offer for sale tokens and may, except as otherwise

provided herein, regulate the use thereof. Such tokens shall entitle the

purchaser to crossings over the Cross-Bay Veteran's Memorial bridge at a

reduced cost of sixty-six and two-thirds per centum of the regular

crossing fare imposed. In the event the authority shall impose a

surcharge in addition to the regular toll for crossings over the

Cross-Bay Veteran's Memorial bridge, such surcharge shall not be deemed

a part of the regular crossing fare for purposes of this section, and

the tokens or other payment devices offered for sale shall also entitle

purchasers who are residents of Broad Channel or the Rockaway peninsula

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.
