when did they stop allowing cars on the staten island ferry
Staten Island Ferry In the past, ferries were equipped for vehicle transport, and operators charged $3 per automobile.[144] A vehicle ban was approved in 1992, after the Whitehall Terminal was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt without vehicle loading areas.[175][176] Although the temporary terminals included car loading areas, car boarding was discontinued after the September 11 attacks.[144] There was a plan to reinstate car boarding because of rising tolls on the Verrazano Bridge,[177] but that was seen as infeasible due to the amount of effort needed to screen every car.[178]
