On March 29, 2021, the Commission approved the following tables of adjusted rates to be charged at the Commission’s eight toll bridges.  All bridges toll lanes have E-ZPass capability.  The following bridges accept only cash and E-ZPass:  Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1), New Hope-Lambertville (Route 202), I-78, Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 22), Portland-Columbia, Delaware Water Gap (I-80), and Milford-Montague (Route 206).  Only one bridge — Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge — has all-electronic toll (AET) collections through TOLL-BY-PLATE and E-ZPass.  These rates and discount changes took effect 12:00:01 a.m. April 11, 2021.  More information may be viewed in the respective vehicle description columns.

Toll Rates

CLASS 1
Includes vehicles with up to 2 axles and less than 8-feet high.  *Starting May 1, 2021, the frequency-based E-ZPass commuter discount shall be 20 percent, reducing the $1.25 toll to $1 toll whenever monthly eligibility criteria is met.  (The former 40-percent discount remains in effect through April 2021.)  The discount is applied as a retroactive credit after 16 or more tolled trips across DRJTBC bridges are recorded in a respective calendar month on a passenger-vehicle E-Zpass  transponder issued by the Commission’s toll processor — the New Jersey E-ZPass Customer Service Center.  The discount is tag-specific, meaning trips recorded on multiple transponders cannot be combined to receive the discount.  A passenger vehicle with a trailer or vehicle in tow with a bumper hitch is charged an additional $2 regardless of the number of rolling axles.

The toll schedule above was first posted Feb. 1, 2021 for purposes of gathering public comment before the Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission’s directors decided whether to approve, modify/approve, or reject the proposed rates.  The Commissioners subsequently reviewed gathered public comments and approved the toll schedules at their March 29 meeting.  The rate changes constitute the Commission’s first system-wide toll adjustment in 10 years.  These new toll rates took effect 12:00:01 a.m. April 11, 2021 — with the exception of the new reduced 20-percent frequent E-ZPass commuter discount, which is scheduled to start May 1.

Please go to www.drjtbc.org/tollcomments for more information on the toll rates and the public comment process that was used prior to adoption of the 2021/2024 toll rates.

Under the 2021 toll rate schedule, the Commission has a two-tiered rate schedule (higher for Cash/TOLL BY PLATE transactions and lower for E-ZPass transactions).  Please note that the Scudder Falls (I-295) Toll Bridge currently is the only DRJTBC crossing with cashless all-electronic tolling [AET] and TOLL BY PLATE service.  All other Commission toll bridges are cash/E-ZPass.

Motorists with E-ZPass transponders qualify for lower rates because the cost of collection is less.  Drivers without E-ZPass pay higher rates for Cash and TOLL BY PLATE because those collection methods are more costly.  (Note:  E-ZPass is now used in more than 85 percent of passenger vehicle toll transactions and 90 percent of commercial vehicle toll transactions in the Commission’s bridge system.)

All E-ZPass users — regardless of issuing agency — qualify for the E-ZPass passenger-vehicle rate of $1.25.

However, the Commission’s volume-based 20-percent E-ZPass commuter discount can only be applied to passenger vehicle transponders issued by the Commission’s toll processor — the regional New Jersey E-ZPass Customer Service Center.  This discount — when applicable — reduces the $1.25 passenger vehicle toll to $1.  The discount is automatically applied as a retroactive credit on a subsequent E-ZPass bill when an eligible motorist records 16 or more tolled trips across DRJTBC bridges in a respective calendar month on his/her Commission-affiliated E-Zpass transponder.  The newly reduced 20-percent discount starts May 1, 2021 and is authorized to continue through 2023. As has always been the case, the discount is tag-specific — meaning trips recorded on multiple transponders cannot be combined to receive the discount.

The per-axle rates for trucks, buses, and other vehicles 8 feet or more in height is $4.50 for E-ZPass and $5 for cash/TOLL BY PLATE, starting April 11.  (Note: The Scudder Falls Toll Bridge currently is the only DRJTBC crossing with cashless all-electronic tolling [AET] and TOLL BY PLATE service.)  The former off-peak E-ZPass discount for trucks, buses and commercial vehicles 8-feet and above in height expired on April 11, 2021.

The Class 1 passenger vehicle E-ZPass toll rate is scheduled to increase an additional 25 cents — to a $1.50 rate — in January 2024.  The frequency-based commuter discount program also is scheduled to be eliminated in January 2024.

Only E-ZPass accounts issued by the DRJTBC’s toll processing service provider (NJ E-ZPass Group) are eligible for the Commission’s commuter discount program. (E-ZPass users who have accounts administered by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission are ineligible for the commuter discount because their toll systems are separate from the DRJTBC’s toll-processing service provider.)
