The 2026 GWB toll for a passenger car is $16.79 with E-ZPass during peak hours (weekday 6-10 AM and 4-8 PM), $14.79 with E-ZPass off-peak, and $23.30 by Toll-by-Mail. A Mid-Tier rate of $19.55 applies when an E-ZPass tag on a NY/NJ account is read via plate match because the tag was improperly positioned (~9% of transactions). Tolls are collected eastbound only, into New York. Tariff effective 4 January 2026 per PANYNJ.
The 4 January 2026 tariff raised every payment-method rate by roughly 22% (E-ZPass peak from $13.75 to $16.79) to 45% (Toll-by-Mail from $16.00 to $23.30) compared to the 2025 tariff. The Mid-Tier rate of $19.55 (originally introduced mid-2025) was carried forward unchanged. The same December 2024 PANYNJ board vote also approved a four-year phase-out of the off-peak discount starting January 2027 — the off-peak rate rises 50¢ per year until it equals the peak rate by 2030, eliminating the time-of-day discount altogether.
Peak hours in 2026 remain weekdays 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM (Monday through Friday). All other times are off-peak: weekday midday (10 AM to 4 PM), weekday evening (after 8 PM), overnight, and all day on weekends and PANYNJ-observed holidays. Peak/off-peak is determined by the time you cross the bridge, not when your account is billed.
Yes. Tolls are the same regardless of which level you cross. The upper level (open 24/7) and lower level (open 6 AM to 10 PM weekdays, restricted on weekends) charge identical rates by vehicle class and payment method. The toll is captured by overhead readers on the bridge approach, not at separate level-specific gantries.
