What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

An opinion piece proposed suspending tolls on the Atlantic City Expressway during coastal storms when both U.S. 30 and U.S. 40 are closed due to flooding. The proposal suggests this suspension should occur when the Governor declares a state of emergency and the Expressway becomes critical public infrastructure for residents and workers in Atlantic City. The author argues that charging a toll in such a situation creates a financial barrier to public safety.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The issue centers on balancing public safety needs with the financial costs of transportation during severe weather events. If the Expressway is required for residents and casino workers to access Atlantic City, suspending tolls could remove a financial barrier to essential movement during emergencies.
