The Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission is planning to transition its network of toll bridges to all-electronic cashless toll collection by early 2025, according to a staff report from Levittown Now.

The commission will start implementing a phased-in “soft conversion” at its seven E-ZPass/cash tolling points to Toll By Plate in January. This new system captures a vehicle’s license plate to bill the vehicle owner.

The car toll will remain at $3. Meanwhile, E-ZPass users will pay half that in 2024.

So far, the only bridge that uses a cashless system is the Scudder Falls Toll Bridge in Lower Makefield Township. The seven older bridges currently accept either E-ZPass or cash.

The New Hope-Lambertville Toll Bridge in Solebury Township is the first on the list to offer Toll By Plate as a third payment option. This will become available on January 17.

After the cashless system becomes available at all bridges, a “hard conversion phase” will commence. This phase will include the removal of barrier toll plazas as well as the construction of highway-speed all-electronic tolling gantries.
