1/13/06-Assemblyman Bill Baroni, R-Hamilton, has introduced a bill that would require the New Jersey Turnpike Authority to reduce toll rates for commercial trucks.
A688 is intended to encourage truck drivers to use the toll way instead of local routes, such as U.S. Routes 1, 206 and 31.
Baroni wrote “the increased use of local highways by commercial trucks creates hazardous driving conditions for motorists and increases the wear and tear” on highways that “were not designed for the present volume of commercial trucks.”
The bill is in the Assembly Transportation and Public Works Committee.
For bill status, call (609) 292-4840. In New Jersey, call 1-800-792-8630.
