S 2044 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires SJTA to suspend certain tolls on the Atlantic City Expressway in certain circumstances.

This bill (S 2044) requires the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to automatically stop collecting tolls on the Atlantic City Expressway east of the Garden State Parkway whenever U.S. Route 40 is closed east of that point. It directly affects motorists traveling to and from Atlantic City who would otherwise face tolls when U.S. Route 40 - the primary alternative route - is closed due to flooding or other disruptions. The key provision mandates an automatic toll suspension under these specific closure conditions, eliminating the need for manual action by the SJTA. The goal is to provide a cost-free travel option during Route 40 closures, avoiding toll payments for drivers without efficient alternatives.
