Cashless tolling starts today
at the Holland Tunnel, the first of the Port Authority's three Hudson River
crossings to get the update.
There are now two options for
drivers when they go through the tunnel: either pay with E-ZPass or
an overhead camera will take a picture of your car and you will be sent a bill.
The Port Authority of New York
and New Jersey say it’s state-of the art technology and will help make the
tunnel safer and faster.
Cash toll collection at the
tunnel was suspended back in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Authorities say the new
system will only enhance the experience.
Cashless tolling should be
installed at the George Washington Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel in the next 18
months.
The Port Authority has also
launched an app so drivers won't have to wait for a bill to pay and have 24/7
access to customer service reps.
