Bill Summary
This bill requires the South Jersey Transportation Authority to suspend the collection of any toll east of the Garden State Parkway on the Atlantic City Expressway when U.S. Route 40 is closed east of the Garden State Parkway. U.S. Route 40 is a main thoroughfare for many residents of this State. U.S. Route 40 is also prone to flooding. If, for any reason, the route is closed, there is no efficient means of travel for many motorists to and from Atlantic City to Pleasantville without having to pay a toll.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA), the agency responsible for operating the Atlantic City Expressway, must automatically stop collecting tolls on the portion of the expressway located east of the Garden State Parkway whenever U.S. Route 40 is closed at any point east of the Garden State Parkway. This measure is intended to provide an alternative route for drivers who would otherwise be inconvenienced by the closure of U.S. Route 40, a significant road that is also susceptible to flooding, and to prevent them from having to pay a toll when their usual travel path is blocked. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
