Prior tariff effective 5 Jan 2025 (revised 6 Jul 2025)
All eleven Port Authority vehicle classes, with every column the tariff publishes. Mid-Tier is charged when a New York or New Jersey E-ZPass tag is mounted badly and has to be matched on the plate instead. Overnight exists only for Classes 2 to 6 and is priced below off-peak, applying Sundays to Thursdays 10 PM to 6 AM; every other class shows a dash because the tariff publishes no overnight rate for it, so off-peak applies.

See the full GWB toll history for rates back to 1990, or the 2025 toll rates archive.
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 the passenger-car E-ZPass rates about 4.5% (peak from $16.06 to $16.79, off-peak from $14.06 to $14.79), reflecting the automatic CPI adjustment plus the 25-cent annual increment approved in December 2024. Toll-by-Mail rose from $22.38 to $23.30 and the Mid-Tier rate (introduced 6 July 2025 at $18.72) rose to $19.55. PANYNJ has 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. Separately, effective 12 July 2026 the single bus rate was replaced by three priced classes (8A minibus $21.00, 8B 2-axle $23.00, 9 3-axle $25.00 E-ZPass peak), up from the prior $18.00 bus rate.
Peak hours in 2026 are weekdays 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, plus Saturdays and Sundays 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. All other times are off-peak: weekday midday (10 AM to 4 PM), weekday evening (after 8 PM), overnight, and weekend mornings before 11 AM and nights after 9 PM. PANYNJ publishes no holiday exceptions; the standard schedule applies. 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.
