Financial Relief May Be Coming For New Jersey E-ZPass Commuters

This is huge news if you are a New Jersey commuter with an E-ZPass.  In a day and age when every single thing is getting more expensive, there is a real possibility that hard-working New Jersians will finally catch a break.

We deal with enough as it is.  Traffic, congestion, and gas prices all contribute to the stress.  We are going to work to make money yet we are spending a big part of our hard-earned paycheck just to get there.

A bit of relief could be in sight for the commuter.  There is a bill being proposed right now that would cut the cost of E-ZPass by half for commuters in New Jersey.  Can I get an Amen?  This would affect me since I’m going through 6 tolls a day! 

The threshold would be 35 passes per month, if you have that under your belt you are eligible.

Not to be a party-pooper but this is a reaction to the fact that we are getting walloped with toll increases so regularly that this could help even things out a bit. 

This would affect the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and the Atlantic City Expressway.  The bill would reserve $250 million dollars for the NJTA and $250 million dollars to the SJTA to support the program.

Want to take a little mental road trip with me?  Let's take a look at how much gas cost when you were born.  It will blow your mind. Think about it for a minute, it is the same product doing the exact same thing and yet the price has skyrocketed.  Check this out!
