CREST HAVEN – The future of Cape May County Bridge Commission toll spans along Ocean Drive from Lower Township to Ocean City will include an E-Z Pass method to pay fees.
Freeholders approved a resolution Feb. 14 allowing the county to buy E-Z Pass equipment and related services for the commission not to exceed $500,000.
After Purchasing Agent Kevin Lare explained the resolution at a work session, Freeholder Director Gerald Thornton asked, “A half million dollars?”
Lare replied that sum includes software, hardware, and installation on the commission’s five toll bridges.
“No kidding. I never thought it would be that costly,” added Thornton.
The resolution noted that the commission had partnered with the South Jersey Transportation Authority for the “implementation, operation, and management” of the E-Z Pass toll collection system.
It also stated that the commission would buy the equipment through the authority, which operates the Atlantic City Expressway, which utilized E-Z Pass for its toll collections.
