This bill mandates that the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) display the toll amount paid by customers using the electronic toll collection system, known as E-ZPass, on electronic displays in every lane of their toll plazas. This requirement applies to all toll facilities operated by these authorities, specifically on the New Jersey Turnpike, the Garden State Parkway, and the Atlantic City Expressway. However, it excludes toll plazas where tolls are collected via high-speed gantries.

Additionally, the bill introduces a definition for "electronic toll collection system," clarifying it as the system used by the authorities to register and collect tolls for vehicles entering their toll plazas. The bill also amends existing law to include references to the new sections being introduced, ensuring that the definitions and requirements are integrated into the current legal framework governing toll collection in New Jersey. The act is set to take effect immediately, but it will not affect any existing contracts or agreements in place at the time of its enactment.
