The Port Authority has indicated that it is interested in changing
E-ZPass monthly customer statements to reflect payment of peak and
off-peak toll rates under the congestion pricing plan pending implementation
at its Hudson River and Staten Island bridges and tunnels. Statements that
show the different rates should reinforce the off-peak incentives the pricing
plan promotes. However, this change is likely to come after the March
25 congestion pricing start date.
The Port Authority is also promoting the new toll plan with flyers, direct mail, advertising in newspapers and on radio, and highway signs. The agency also says it is adding fare vending machines in many PATH stations that will allow credit and debit card QuickCard purchases. PATH is also setting up fare vending at other, non-station locations, and trying to better promote the fact that NJ Transit's fare vending machines also sell PATH QuickCards. |
