In an important announcement from toll authorities, eligible EZ Pass customers are being urged to recertify their accounts in order to continue receiving discounts on tolls for the Mario Cuomo Bridge, which spans the Hudson River between Westchester and Rockland counties in New York. The recertification process is crucial as the bridge, named after former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, implements a review of its discount programs. It is essential for customers to ensure they comply with the requirements and expedite their recertifications to avoid losing benefits.
Recent updates indicate that authorities are also taking measures to educate users about potential scams. A rising threat has been identified by both the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the FBI, as they have warned the public about scam texts claiming unpaid tolls. These fraudulent messages have been designed to exploit unsuspecting drivers, leading them to believe that they owe money for tolls they have not actually incurred. The warning emphasizes the need for vigilance among residents and commuters to safeguard their information and finances against scams.
Moreover, a spokesperson from the authority stated, “It’s important that individuals actively monitor their EZ Pass accounts and ensure they are recertified to avoid any unexpected charges.” As the deadline for recertification approaches, customers are reminded to log into their EZ Pass accounts and verify their eligibility for the discounts provided for the Mario Cuomo Bridge using the instructions available on the website or by contacting customer service directly.
This comes at a time when the bridge continues to manage heavy traffic, and the discounts play a pivotal role in easing expenses for regular users. Residents are advised to stay informed to maintain access to the toll benefits.
