Motorists who repeatedly speed through E-ZPass lanes at the Port Authority’s crossings risk having their accounts suspended.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is sending warnings to E-ZPass customers who exceed the 5 mph speed limit. The technology tracks 74 toll lanes and the information is sent to the New York Customer Service Center.
Motorists who speed will have their E-ZPass privileges suspended. The first offense will result in a warning, followed by a loss of E-ZPass for 60 days, 180 days and a year for the fourth offense.
E-ZPass cannot issue speeding tickets.
The Port Authority says the biggest concern is ensuring E-ZPass customers can safely merge with motorists who pay cash.

Great idea- suspend the EZ- pass motorists that keep traffic flowing. Let’s see, who do we make more money with the robot or the Human toll collector? Post a discount price on every toll for EZ-pass and before you know it the cash lanes will disappear. People are afraid of EZ-pass for exactly this reason- automated policing. How about not raising the tolls every year just to cover “budget shortfalls” and more people will get on board.
Or they could do what the South has done for years and install those express lanes system-wide.
Yeah, well good thing there are another 49 states to buy EZ Pass in after it gets suspended.
