This makes me sick. First it's the bridges with trains and now this. What do the books look like for the authority? Security improvements. Does the bridge need to be painted? Seems like the governers have some say. You'll have to fight to make sure this isnt a permenant change. Good time to go car free and leave your junker at the toll booth.

Governance
The Port Authority is a financially self-supporting public agency that receives no tax revenues from any state or local jurisdiction and has no power to tax. It relies almost entirely on revenues generated by facility users, tolls, fees, and rents. The Governor of each state appoints six members to the Board of Commissioners, subject to state senate approval. Board Members serve as public officials without pay for overlapping six-year terms. The Governors retain the right to veto the actions of Commissioners from his or her own state. Board meetings are public.
