NYPD, MTA conduct ghost plate enforcement operation at Verrazzano Bridge

Since the crackdown began in March 2024, the MTA has initiated over 100 crackdowns on "ghost cars," which are vehicles that use forged or altered license plates to evade tolls, according to the agency. In that time, more than 5,400 drivers had their vehicles stopped and towed due to suspended registrations or fraudulent and obstructed license plates. The MTA previously stated that, this year, such operations have resulted in nearly 2,000 towed vehicles, and the recovery of over $11.5 million in unpaid tolls and fines.
