§ 553-i. Marine Parkway Bridge; tokens. Notwithstanding any
inconsistent provision of law, but subject to agreements with
noteholders and bondholders, the authority shall offer for sale tokens
and may, except as otherwise provided herein, regulate the use thereof.
Such tokens shall entitle the purchaser to crossings over the Marine
Parkway Bridge at a reduced cost of sixty-six and two-thirds percentum
of the regular crossing fare. In the event the authority shall impose a
surcharge in addition to the regular toll for crossings over the Marine
Parkway Bridge, such surcharge shall not be deemed a part of the regular
crossing fare for purposes of this section, and the tokens or other
payment devices offered for sale shall also entitle purchasers who are
residents of Broad Channel or the Rockaway Peninsula to a permanent
exemption from the payment of any such surcharge in an amount equal to
the amount of any such surcharge imposed during calendar year nineteen
hundred ninety-three. Application for such tokens or other payment
devices shall be made in such manner as prescribed by the authority and
shall contain such information as the authority may reasonably require.
