Q & As

1.  I missed the toll on the Atlantic City Expressway. What do I do?

Missed the toll? Don't despair. At the South Jersey Transportation Authority, we understand how difficult and confusing it can be at times to change lanes during periods of heavy traffic. 


There are two ways to correct this problem BUT YOU MUST DO SO WITHIN 48 HOURS OF MISSING THE TOLL:


- Pay the missed toll at either the Pleasantville Toll Plaza (Milepost 4) or Egg Harbor Toll Plaza (Milepost 16). Just let the attendant know you need to pay a missed toll. Remember to get a receipt as proof of payment.


Or


- Send a check or money order for the missed toll amount to:

SJTA

PO Box 351

Hammonton, NJ 08037


In the memo portion of the check/money order, simply write the date, the location of the missed toll, and the license number/state of the vehicle. Keep a copy of your check details as you may get a violation notice from E-ZPass while the payment is processing). SJTA staff will record your payment and can confirm payment to E-ZPass, if necessary.


Currently, we are unable to accept credit card payments (or any kind of electronic payment). If you have received a traffic summons issued by the New Jersey State Police for a toll violation and have an E-ZPass account, first contact the E-ZPass Service center at 1-888-288-6865 (or www.ezpassnj.com) to verify your account status. If your account is in “good standing,” contact the SJTA at 609-965-6060. Be prepared to provide your E-ZPass account number, proof of toll payment and the traffic summons number. This must be done prior to the court date listed on the traffic summons.
