Tolling Authorities

Under Section 510(3)(d) of the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and Part 127 of the Commissioner’s Regulations, the Department of Motor Vehicles is suspending your registration for failing to pay tolls, fees, or other charges related to 3 or more violations of the Tolling Authority’s toll collection regulations committed within a 5 year period, or for the failure to pay such tolls, fees or other charges in the amount of $200 or more within a 5 year period, or for the failure to pay such tolls, fees or other charges in the amount of $200 or more within a 5 year period, committed by the registrant of an affected commercial motor vehicle.

Operating a motor vehicle with a suspended registration is a misdemeanor, which may result in a fine, imprisonment, or both.

  • Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) (718) 313-9424
  • Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (718) 313-9425
