<h2 style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 25px 0 15px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #a2a9b1; padding-bottom: 2px;">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Why is the Verrazzano Bridge toll so expensive?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">The toll reflects the bridge's massive construction and maintenance costs, plus it's collected in one direction only (doubling the rate). The bridge is the longest in NYC and requires extensive ongoing maintenance including deck replacement and cable work.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can I pay cash on the Verrazzano Bridge?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is 100% cashless. You need E-ZPass or will be billed by mail via license plate recognition. Cash booths were eliminated to improve traffic flow.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">How do I qualify for the Staten Island resident discount?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Register your E-ZPass account to a Staten Island address and use the bridge at least 10 times per month. The discount applies automatically once you meet the requirements - no separate application needed.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happens if I don't pay the Verrazzano toll?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Unpaid tolls result in violation notices: $10.17 toll + $50 fine for first violation, increasing to $100+ for repeat violations. Unpaid violations can lead to license suspension and collection agency referral.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Is there a carpool discount on the Verrazzano Bridge?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, unlike some Port Authority crossings, the Verrazzano Bridge does not offer carpool discounts. All passenger vehicles pay the same rate regardless of occupancy.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Can rental cars use E-ZPass on the Verrazzano?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, but rental companies typically charge $3-15 per day for transponder use plus tolls. For stays longer than 3-4 days, buying a temporary E-ZPass is often cheaper than rental company fees.</p>
