Operative words

The New Jersey Turnpike Authority has suspended cash collections on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway as a precaution against the spread of COVID-19. All tolls are being collected electronically.... The first group of invoices for tolls incurred since 10 p.m. March 24th are scheduled to be mailed the week of April 27th.... This is an extraordinary measure being taken in order to help slow the spread of Covid-19. The existing processes have been modified to allow cash customers to continue using the toll roads in the absence of toll collectors during this trying time.... What happens if I don't pay by the due date? You will receive a second notice, and it will include administrative fees.

Enforcement

Administrative fees on second notice; NJ E-ZPass violation process
