SYNOPSIS
Requires Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to offer cash payment option at every toll plaza.
CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT
As introduced.
An Act concerning the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and supplementing Title 32 of the Revised Statutes.
Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey shall at each location where the authority imposes a toll for the use of a bridge or tunnel river crossing, provide a means by which the user may pay such a toll in cash.
2. This act shall take effect immediately, but shall remain inoperative until the enactment into law of legislation substantially similar to P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill) by the State of New York, but if such legislation shall have been enacted prior to the enactment of this act, this act shall take effect immediately.
STATEMENT
This bill requires the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to provide a cash payment option at all locations at which the authority imposes a toll for the use of its bridges or tunnels. This legislation would ensure that a driver who does not want to utilize the E-ZPass system would be able to pay a cash toll at all authority toll plazas.
