AC Expressway To Stop Accepting Cash
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) ―
Atlantic City's Expressway will stop accepting money at its toll plazas by the end of 2010.
The highway will use E-ZPass and video tolling instead.
Video tolling uses cameras to capture license plate numbers and motorists who don't have E-ZPass are billed for the toll.
The South Jersey Transportation Authority says toll collectors won't lose their jobs. Instead, they'll be trained to fill other jobs that become vacant with the agency.
Tuesday's cashless toll announcement came on the same day the expressway raised tolls for the first time in a decade.
