State legislators propose 50 cent cut in Parkway and Turnpike tolls

Four members of the New Jersey State Legislature would like to see tolls on the Garden Stte Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike actually rolled back by 50 cents. They would also like all future toll increases delayed until the end of 2024. State Senator Nina Gill a Democrat and State Senator Jim Holzapfel a Republican are co-sponsoring the legislation. In the State Assembly two Republican legislators plan to introduce a similar bill. Assemblyman Greg McGuckin says the recent approval of toll increases by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority was "A sneak attack on New Jersey drivers at a time when the state's cost of living is already soaring." The recently approved toll increases are set to take effect January 1st. So both the Assembly and State Senate would have to act fast to prevent those increases from happening. No word on whether Governor Murphy would sign the proposed legislation if it were to pass.
