Numbers collected during Monday morning's rush hour suggest that auto commuters are likely to respond to E-ZPass discounts and lower off-peak tolls. The percentage of drivers paying electronically on all PA facilities between 5am-10am increased modestly compared to the previous Monday. But the Port Authority reported a 5.5% increase in traffic and a 10.7% increase in E-ZPass usage between 5-6am on Monday over March 19th, a possible sign of drivers shifting to off-peak travel. The Courier News reported that the Federal Highway Administration will work with the Port Authority to monitor and report on the effect of variable tolls.

PATH riders also embraced the multi-ride fare-card discounts. The Port Authority reported the percentage of rail commuters paying with the swipe-card between 6-9am increased from 58% on March 19th to 70% on March 26th.
