Cash less manhattan new jersey bridge
You're referring to the cashless tolling system on the Hudson River crossings in New Jersey!
As of December 2017, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) implemented cashless tolling on the George Washington Bridge, the Lincoln Tunnel, and the Holland Tunnel. This means that drivers no longer need to stop at toll booths to pay their tolls. Instead, cameras and sensors capture images of license plates and automatically send an invoice to the registered owner of the vehicle.
Here's how it works:
- As you cross the bridge or tunnel, cameras capture images of your license plate.
- The NJTA's toll collection system uses the license plate images to identify the vehicle and its owner.
- You'll receive an invoice in the mail with the toll amount and payment instructions.
- You can pay online, by phone, or by mail.
The benefits of cashless tolling include:
- Reduced congestion: Without the need to stop at toll booths, traffic flows more smoothly.
- Increased efficiency: Cashless tolling reduces the time spent at tolls, making your commute faster.
- Convenience: You don't need to carry cash or worry about finding a toll booth.
However, some drivers may experience issues with the system, such as:
- Incorrect invoices: If the camera doesn't capture your license plate correctly, you might receive an incorrect invoice.
- Late fees: If you don't pay your toll on time, you may incur late fees.
To avoid any issues, make sure to:
- Keep your vehicle registration up to date.
- Pay your tolls promptly to avoid late fees.
- Check your email and mail for invoices and payment reminders.
If you have any questions or concerns about cashless tolling, you can contact the NJTA's customer service department at (888) 865-5348 or visit their website at www.njta.com.
