3/15/06-A bill in the Senate Transportation Committee would limit the direction in which tolls could be collected at certain toll plazas.
S311, sponsored by Sen. Nicholas Asselta, R-Vineland, would require the Turnpike Authority to collect tolls only in the southbound direction at the Great Egg and Cape May barrier toll plazas on the Garden State Parkway. Toll booths in the northbound direction would be removed.
Asselta wrote that “by requiring the authority to discontinue northbound toll collections at those plazas in favor of southbound collections, emergency evacuations from the Shore area in the northbound direction will be facilitated.”
For bill status, call (609) 292-4840. In New Jersey, call 1-800-792-8630.
An identical Assembly bill – A1058 – is in the Assembly Transportation and Public Works Committee.
