TOLL PROPOSAL * USA - In New Jersey, still hurts truckers
NJ,USA -Land Line Magazine -October 8, 2008: -- Even though transportation officials in New Jersey revised their toll increase proposal, trucking officials are still concerned that the increases will hurt the industry while transportation officials divert millions of dollars to a mass-transit tunnel project... Based on percentage calculations, the current average truck toll of $5.05 on the turnpike would become $7.10 in 2009 and $11.05 in 2012... Further calculations show that the current truck toll of $26.55 for the full length of the turnpike would become $37.33 after the nearly 41 percent increase in 2009. The toll would increase by $19.78 and become $57.11 in 2012... Truckers appreciate the attempt at lessening the initial increase, but say the increase in 2012 will still hurt truckers...
