STATEMENT
This bill directs the New Jersey Transit Corporation to undertake, or cause to be undertaken, a study of the feasibility of the use of E-ZPass technology for payment of charges to use parking facilities owned and operated by the corporation. The study is to examine the positive and negative aspects of the use of E-ZPass technology in those facilities. Both E-ZPass and E-ZPass Plus are to be examined in this study. The study is to be completed within six months.
E-ZPass Plus requires an E-ZPass customer to register for the E-ZPass Plus feature and is used in LaGuardia and JFK International Airports in New York and Newark Liberty International Airport and Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey, as well as other parking facilities in the two States.
