MTA Rescinds E-ZPass Perks

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will rescind free E-ZPass tags for former board members and restrict their use by current members.

The state attorney general's office and the MTA said yesterday that only current board members will now get the perk — and then only when performing official MTA business.

Attorney General Cuomo has sought to end such travel perks — a decades-long tradition at many public agencies.

About 60 past and present MTA board members — many of them multimillionaires — had gotten the free tags for life. Among them is a former chairman of the MTA, Peter Kalikow, who owns dozens of cars and reportedly has eight tags.
