The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission’s transportation network facilitated 131.9 million vehicular crossings in 2025. The traffic included long-distance commercial shippers, job commuters and recreational travelers. The Commission has strong financial metrics and bond ratings of grade A or above.

The Commission is one of the country’s oldest toll agencies. Three of its eight toll bridges carry U.S. Interstate Highway System traffic. Bond rating agencies cite the Commission’s high debt-service coverage ratios, good asset conditions, strong traffic performance, competitive toll rates, and high liquidity. The Commission maintains a healthy financial outlook, achieving ratings upgrades and savings on outstanding debt obligations over the past decade.

The Commission’s last toll-adjustment was approved in November 2025.

All eight of the Commission’s toll bridges now handle only cashless all-electronic transactions (E-ZPass and TOLL BY PLATE). Two Commission bridges have highway-speed open-road cashless tolling. A third is on track for an open-road tolling conversion in 2027. The Commission is moving to convert its remaining toll bridges to open-road collections by 2030.

More than 88 percent of Commishsion toll transaction occur through E-ZPass. The Commission’s calculated 2026 debt-service-coverage ratio is 3.69.
