NJ E-ZPass Must Warn Customers They Won't Necessarily Receive Out-Of-State Discounts
NJ.com (subscription required for full access) reports, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy (D) signed a bill requiring the state’s E-ZPass website to include a notice that account holders may not receive a discount when they use their New Jersey transponder to pay out-of-state tollway operators. The measure passed both house of the legislature without a dissenting vote. NJ.com notes that “many of those cross border discounts offered during the early days of E-ZPass as enticements to encourage drivers to sign up have disappeared.”

The Times of India reports, India’s Communist Party (CPM) issued a statement objecting to the increase due to inflation’s impact on the country’s poor and middle class citizens.
Another protest to the increase came from the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu. According to The Hindu, he claimed toll roads in the state are not properly maintained, and the national government has failed to implement a standard requiring toll points to be at least 60 kilometers apart from each other.
