Polistina Introduces Bill to Suspend Tolls for Motorists Impacted by Road Closure

February 13, 2024

Senator Vince Polistina introduced legislation to suspend tolls for motorists diverted to the Atlantic City Expressway when U.S. Route 40 is closed.

“This bill would provide financial relief for motorists who must use the Atlantic City Expressway when U.S. Route 40 is closed,” said Sen. Polistina (R-2). “By suspending toll collections east of the Garden State Parkway, motorists diverted by floods or closures can efficiently travel from Atlantic City to Pleasantville with ease and financial peace of mind.”

S-2780 would require the South Jersey Transportation Authority to automatically suspend toll collections on the Atlantic City Expressway when U.S. Route 40 is closed east of the Garden State Parkway.

Assemblyman Don Guardian and Assemblywoman Claire Swift have also introduced this legislation in the assembly.
