Corzine: Most Toll Payers are Commercial Drivers or from Other States January 9, 2008 Scott Goldstein - NJBIZ Daily When Gov. Jon Corzine yesterday announced a plan that involves raising highway tolls by 50 percent every four years starting in 2010, he said that “toll increases will be imposed equally on all users—a majority of whom are commercial and out-of-state drivers.” State Department of Transportation Commissioner Kris Kolluri, a member of Corzine’s cabinet, told NJBIZ that an estimated 53 percent of toll payers on the New Jersey Turnpike and 30 percent to 35 percent of toll payers on the Garden State Parkway are from out of state. The Atlantic City Expressway has a smaller number of out-of-state drivers, but it’s harder to estimate because most motorists on that road pay cash instead of using E-Z Pass, Kolluri said.
