Requires certain toll road operators and bi-state agency to allow drivers to choose towing company.
This bill requires toll road operators and bi-state agencies in New Jersey to allow drivers to choose their own towing company after being involved in an accident on their facilities. The legislation amends existing state laws to give drivers the option to select a towing service rather than having one assigned by the road operator. This change directly affects drivers who experience vehicle breakdowns or accidents on toll roads and the towing companies that provide services at these locations. The bill does not mandate specific towing companies or set pricing rules, but rather establishes the right of drivers to make their own selection when towing is necessary.
