The weather is warming up as summer approaches. New Jersey is slowly beginning to reopen as residents continue to endure the coronavirus. Businesses in the state are anticipating the day when things are “back to normal.”
So, what else do New Jerseyans have to look forward to in the immediate future? How does a potential increase in tolls on both the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway? You read that correctly.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which controls both toll roads, is meeting right now to vote on a proposal to increase tolls by 36 percent on the Turnpike and 27 percent on the Parkway.
Wow, just what motorists were all hoping for, right? The Governor is beginning to ease the restrictions put in place by this hideous virus, and the NJTA potentially drops this financial bomb on us.
While an increase in tolls is not set in stone, what do you think is going to happen?
