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.

On February 24, 2025, the Commission completed an RFQ procurement process and affirmed pools of qualified firms to assist in possible bond transactions. The respective pools are as follows:

Bond Counsel

Bond Transaction Financial Advisory Services

Qualified Investment Banks

The Commission’s last toll-adjustment was approved in April 2021. The final element of that adjustment was implemented in early January 2024. All eight of the Commission’s toll bridges have been converted to cashless all-electronic collections (E-ZPass and TOLL BY PLATE). Roughly 85 percent of Commission tolls are collected via E-ZPass. The Commission has A-grade bond ratings.  It maintains a 2.0-plus debt-service-coverage ratio.
