The average price per toll was $7.20, so it's not the priciest, but it is definitely up there compared to some other states. I'm actually surprised that it's not higher especially with the cost to travel into the Big Apple.

Maine takes the crown for the cheapest tolls in the U.S., with drivers paying only $1.33 per pass or 8 cents per mile. On the other hand, Alaska is the leader of pack as the costliest state, with an average toll of $10.63. That's quite a jump from New York's $7.20 average toll cost.
