WOODBRIDGE, NJ – Raising tolls on the New Jersey Turnpike and Garden State Parkway is an essential business for Governor Phil Murphy and the New Jersey Transportation Authority.  On Wednesday, that’s just what will be happening as the board once again meets away from the public eye during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The meeting takes place and residents can call in and listen to the plan to raise tolls in New Jersey.

Here’s the public notice for the meeting:
