The sponsor's argument
Why Stephen T. Chan says this is needed
On April 25th, 2014, Staten Island residents who pay electronically for crossings on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge were granted toll relief from the fifteen dollar toll imposed on bridge crossings. This bill will grant a similar discount to the residents of Kings County. Many resi- dents of both Staten Island and Brooklyn work in the other borough and the toll on the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge makes commuting to work an expensive endeavor. Providing residents of Brooklyn relief that is already felt by residents of Staten Island is common sense and will entice more residents of these counties to patronize businesses in the other county leading to enhanced opportunities for economic development. Ultimately, the bill serves to alleviate an unnecessary economic burden off of residents of Kings County.
This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
