In my years of having a CDL even before I actually started driving a big rig. I've always wondered what was done with the money collected to cross the GW Bridge. I haven't been across it in years. But I could clearly see that the toll money wasn't getting put back into repairs. The last time that I crossed it.

The tolls from east and west bounds crossings equal to $350 Million per year!!! Does the money collected just go in the pockets of the Port Authority of NYNJ? And they only put maybe $50k per year in the actual bridge? Hell it seems that they go up on the rate for trucks every year.

Surely you're not suggesting the Port Authority would do shady things with that money?

I'm aghast, I tell you, aghast!

They commissioned studies on how to best use funds collected. Then another to verify. Repeat over & over....
