The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) has awarded 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom a US$147 million contract to replace all roadside equipment in the mixed-mode, dedicated mode and express toll lanes at all bridges and tunnels managed by Authority.

Under the first collaborative project between Kapsch TrafficCom and its recently-acquired 729 Schneider Electric transportation business division, Kapsch will replace the toll collection system at PANYNJ’s bridge and tunnel facilities, as well as carry out ongoing system maintenance upon completion of the new toll system installation.

The initial contract is for the design and implementation of the replacement toll collection system at PANYNJ’s six bridge and tunnel facilities. Once completed, Kapsch will maintain the system for a six-year period, with options to extend for up to three two-year periods.

The initial work will commence in August 2016, with all toll collection system equipment to be replaced by the end of 2020.
