COMMISSION TO HOST E-ZPASS QUICKSTART PROGRAM AT THE CROSSINGS PREMIUM OUTLETS NEXT WEEK
215-893-4279 or 267-790-1010
DELAWARE WATER GAP, PA - The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission announced today that it will offer its E-ZPass QuickStart program at the food court at The Crossings Premium Outlets between noon and 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Friday, Sept. 19.
The Crossings Premium Outlets are located at 1000 Route 611 in Tannersville, Pa., just off I-80 exit 299.
During the QuickStart program, Commission customer service representatives will be on location to help applicants complete a simple form. Customers are required to pay $25 by major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) and provide vehicle registration and licenses numbers.
The QuickStart program expedites the E-ZPass application process and enables commuters to drive away with an active tag and $25 worth of prepaid poll credits in less than 10 minutes.
E-ZPass tag-holders save money through reduced tolls each time they cross a Commission-operated toll bridge. Commission E-ZPass customers receive an automatic 20 percent discount on their tolls, paying a 60 cent toll compared to the normal 75 cent toll. In addition, the Commission offers frequent commuters - individuals who make 20 trips within a 35-day cycle - an additional 20 percent discount, reducing the toll to 45 cents per trip. There are no monthly fees or administrative costs for commuters associated with the Commission's E-ZPass program.
E-ZPass customers also cut down the length of their commutes and save gas as special E-ZPass only lanes process vehicles more rapidly, enabling commuters to proceed with their trips in a timelier manner. Increased E-ZPass usage also reduces overall congestion at Commission bridges for all commuters because the electronic system processes up to 1,000 cars per hour compared to 400 cars per hour at manual cash lanes.
Motorists who do not already have E-ZPass and cannot take advantage of the QuickStart program can also sign up by calling 1-800-872-5061 or visiting www.ezpassdrjtbc.com.
Commission E-ZPass customers with questions about their account or the E-ZPass QuickStart program can contact the Commission's toll-free customer support line at 1-800-363-0049.
