New Jersey Turnpike Authority will make toll privatization decision Friday
After delaying its decision about whether to privatize tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway, the state’s Turnpike Authority will meet Friday to decide, the Star-Ledger reports.
A meeting is set for 2 p.m. Friday to determine the fate of 800 toll collectors’ job. Collectors are protesting the move, which would leave them unemployed, or if hired by a private company, face salary cuts. The state is looking to save money, especially since drivers’ are shifting toward E-Z Pass.
