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 new definitions for "electronic toll collection system" to clarify the technology used by the authorities for toll registration and collection. The bill amends existing law to incorporate these definitions and the new display requirements, ensuring that customers are informed of the tolls they have paid as they pass through the toll plazas. The act is set to take effect immediately, but it specifies that the new provisions will not affect any existing contracts or agreements in place at the time of enactment.
