Lincoln Tunnel is now cashless

The Lincoln Tunnel officially went cashless this week.

The 88-year-old tunnel became the sixth and final of the Port Authority crossings to completely switch over to electronic billing as of Sunday.

Toll payments are now collected through the E-ZPass system or Toll-By-Mail, where an overhead camera snap photos of the passing license plates, and a bill for the toll amount is sent through the mail.
