I think this is a good idea. The Port Authority is so big and diffused and political that it takes to long and costs too much to get any substantive things done. This idea will help allay legitimate concerns that all money is fungible and has a way of disappearing into a great black hole, rather than being used for its intended purpose. Think Al Gore and the Social Security "lock box."
I am generally supportive of this whole plan. My one concern is that I'd like the money collected from new tolls used to maintain the bridges and bridge access roads where the new tolls are collected.
