The Delaware River Port Authority has awarded Transcore the contract to build a tolling system for four bridges spanning the Delaware River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The system will combine TransCore’s Encompass 6 Multiprotocol reader with image-based tolling technology. It will also employ TransCore’s Vehicle Capture and Recognition System (VCARS) and Vehicle Classification and Tracking System (VCATS). These use AI to detect and process vehicle transactions from low-profile overhead enclosures.

“DRPA continues to invest in leading technology to improve safety, reliability, and reduce travel times for the motoring public. With the implementation of a new state-of-the-art tolling system, we will see increased efficiency and improved service for our customers,” said Robert Hicks, Chief Operating Officer for DRPA.

TransCore installed DRPA’s previous electronic toll collection system in 1999. Twenty-five years after implementing that system, DRPA has selected TransCore to design and deploy its replacement.

“DRPA has been a close partner for nearly three decades, during which TransCore has supported DRPA operations with proven technology and high-quality service. We take pride in providing long-term value and service excellence to our customers and are excited for the opportunity to continue supporting DRPA’s mission through world class tolling technology and service for many more years,” said Whitt Hall, President and CEO of TransCore.
