N.J. Turnpike Authority delays toll collector privatization vote

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority has delayed its vote on whether to hire a private vendor for toll collection starting this summer.

Four companies have made bids, the Associated Press reports, and a vote was expected Wednesday.
Commissioners are still mulling how to save collectors’ jobs as the state prepares to privatize collections as a way to save money. As many as 700 employees on the Turnpike and Garden State Parkway face losing their jobs.
