ATLANTIC CITY EXPRESSWAY TOLL COLLECTION BECOMING PRIVATIZED

Toll collection on the Atlantic City Expressway will be done by private workers. The South Jersey Transportation Authority voted in favor of privatization during a Tuesday meeting. This will allow for lower paid workers to be brought in to collect tolls on the state’s roadway. Early estimates say up to $1 million could be saved in the move. Many experts believe the job of toll collector will be gone in the near future, as video systems are implemented more and more.
