Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to establish and maintain a toll discount program for all persons age 65 and older who have an account with the New Jersey electronic toll collection system (NJ E-ZPass) for passenger vehicles. The discount is to be available at all hours and is to be at least 10 percent less than the NJ E-ZPass rate for passenger vehicles. NJTA and SJTA are required to automatically apply the discount when a NJ E-ZPass account holder turns 65 and when a person who is 65 or older applies for a NJ E-ZPass account for a passenger vehicle.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) must create and manage toll discount programs for senior citizens. Specifically, any individual aged 65 or older who uses the New Jersey electronic toll collection system, known as NJ E-ZPass, for their passenger vehicle will automatically receive a discount. This discount, which must be at least 10 percent off the standard NJ E-ZPass rate for passenger vehicles, will be applied at all times. The authorities are required to proactively apply this discount to existing accounts when a user turns 65, and also when a new NJ E-ZPass account for a passenger vehicle is opened by someone already 65 or older.
