Here are the steps.
When should I submit an Application?You should register the GCT Toll Reimbursement Program in Account Request as soon as you open your E-ZPass® Account with any E-ZPass® Agency and do business with GCT New York LP. Where could I sign up the Toll Reimbursement Program?Please click here to enroll in our program, or go to www.nyctTolls.com and click the Request an Account button.

For example, you received our acceptance email on August 1, 2013. Any tolls of your qualified bridge crossings on and after August 2 will be eligible for reimbursements. You should receive our first remittance on August 9. However, You may miss our remittance cycle after our acceptance or we may not receive the PANY&NJ reconciliation of your toll transactions right away. In this case, we will remit you the toll reimbursements in our next remittance cycle. What should I do if my E-ZPass® tag number(s) has been changed?You must update your Account Profile as soon as you have new tags or lost/surrendered tags. To make the change, please login your account and go to Account Profile where you can select Add Tag or click Add Tag here. To add new tag numbers, you must first download your E-ZPass® "transaction view" summary in pdf format from your E-Zpass® Agency's website. Make sure this new summary includes all your new tag numbers. Upon completion of our validation, we will send you an email notification of all the newly added tag number(s). Please go back to View All Tags of your Acccount Profile and check for all new tag number(s) again. Any delay or omission in updating your new tag numbers will result in the loss of your toll reimbursements of those new tag numbers. One of my E-ZPass® tags was stolen.

You should do the same for any tags which you have surrendered to your E-ZPass® Office. Our toll reimbursement to your stolen tag is still remitted to your registered ACH Bank Account, not the thief's bank account. However, you will still suffer a loss because you still have to pay the base rate at $6.00 per axle against this stolen tag. If the thief's bridge crossings are not qualified for our reimbursements, you will then pay the full toll amount against this stolen tag. What should I do if my ACH Bank Account number has been changed?Please login your account and open Account Profile. Click Edit next to Bank Information to update your bank account number or click Edit Bank Account here. Any change in your bank account number will require our re-validation.

One Toll Reimbursement Account is for one E-ZPass® Account. Upon acceptance of your second account, your toll reimbursements to the new tag numbers will be reflected on your newly created second account. However, you may use the same ACH bank account information for both accounts.

Our reimbursable amount is calculated according to the number of your vehicle axles up to 6 axels. It will not include the special toll amount and possible escort fees. Participant's driver will be instructed to scan his/her E-ZPass® tag on our Kapsch Patch Antenna in our terminal.

Affix your company's tag on your truck's windshield before you cross the toll bridges and make sure your company's tag is still affixed on your windshield before you enter GCT New York LP Security Gate. If you don't, the E-ZPass® reader at the toll plaza and/or GCT New York LP Gate will read both tag numbers. This could lead to multiple toll charge by your E-ZPass® Agency. You may not be reimbursed by our Toll System because of your multiple tags being read.

This program is not intended to reimburse you the full amount of your bridge toll.
