The high price of gas is certainly a concern when budgeting for summer road trips. Another concern for many is the cost of tolls. With the introduction of Easy Pass many people who travel toll roads regularly only stop to think about it when they have to reload their Easy Pass account. For people who traveled toll roads semi-regularly in the past the use of tokens provided a slight discount to the cost.
Tokens have not been sold since 2002, but they have continued to be accepted. The New Jersey Turnpike authority is going set a date as to when those tokens can be used. It is expected that they will no longer be accepted as of the end of this year.
So if you have a stash of tokens in your home or in your glove box and your summer driving plans include spending some time on the Garden State Parkway, use those tokens now! Over half of the 33 million tokens in circulation have been collected. It is expected that many of the remaining tokens will go uncollected either lost, or found too late after this years deadline.
