NY MTA Bridges and Tunnels Moves to All-Electronic Tolling System

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority Bridges & Tunnels (MTA B&T) has selected TransCore to deploy the agency’s first All-Electronic Tolling (AET) system, which will be implemented first on the historic Henry Hudson Bridge.

Built in 1936, the iconic bridge provides passage for more than 63,000 vehicles each day.

The AET project is part of a three-year, $33 million MTA B&T bridge rehabilitation project to replace the original 1930s steel supports as well as install 3,600 feet of new bridge decking, new energy-efficient roadway lighting, and wider traffic lanes.

The MTA B&T ranks as the largest toll agency in the United States.

“As we begin to utilize AET technology, our key goals remain to increase mobility for our customers while collecting tolls in a highly accurate and auditable manner,” said Robert Redding, senior director, New Toll Initiatives, MTA Bridges & Tunnels.

TransCore will deploy its Infinity∞ Digital Lane SystemTM for the MTA B&T.

The Infinity system integrates automatic vehicle identification, vehicle classification, and video capture and recognition systems specifically designed to automatically collect transactions in high-volume traffic across a wide variety of traffic speeds and patterns with the highest degrees of accuracy in the industry.
