The fare adjustment was approved by the Port Authority Board of Commissioners in September 2019 in support of the agency’s Capital Plan, the first inflation-based increase in Port Authority tolls, fares and fees in more than four years. This is the second phase of the SmartLink discount fare adjustment.
