Cape May County Bridges To End Cash Tolls

Cape May County Bridges To End Cash Tolls

The Cape May County Bridge Commission has announced a change in its toll collection system.

Beginning April 1, 2025, all bridges under the Commission’s authority will transition to cashless, all-electronic tolling.

This move aims to streamline travel, reduce congestion, and enhance safety by eliminating the need for vehicles to stop at toll booths.

 

The Bridge Commission is responsible for 5 toll bridges on Ocean Drive from Cape May to Ocean City within the county.

Those bridges include, Ocean City-Longport Bridge, Townsends Inlet Bridge, Corsons Inlet Bridge, Middle Thorofare Bridge, and Grassy Sound Bridge.

Motorists will have two options for paying tolls: E-ZPass or Toll-by-Plate.

E-ZPass Users: Drivers with a valid E-ZPass transponder will have tolls automatically deducted from their account.

To ensure seamless transactions, motorists should verify that their license plate is properly registered in their E-ZPass account.

Toll-by-Plate Users: For those without an E-ZPass, the system will capture a photograph of the vehicle’s license plate at the time of crossing.

The registered owner will then receive a toll bill in the mail, typically within 30 days.

With the transition to all-electronic tolling, the Commission will no longer accept Bridge Tickets as payment. To accommodate customers who may still possess unused tickets, a buyback program has been established.

Customers can return their unused Bridge Tickets by June 30, 2025, and receive a refund at the last sale price of $1.20 per ticket. Refunds can be processed in one of two ways:

In-Person Drop-Off: Tickets can be submitted at the Commission’s front desk security office, located at 4 Moore Road, Cape May Court House, NJ 08210. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

Mail Submission: Customers can mail their tickets, along with a completed refund form, to:
Cape May County Bridge Commission – 4 Moore Road – Cape May Court House, NJ 08210

Bridge Tickets will not be accepted at bridge locations. The Commission will process the returned tickets and mail payments to customers within 30 days of receipt.
