Important Rules:

• This program is intended for senior citizen drivers (65 years or older) who have motor vehicles registered in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Delaware.
• To participate in DRPA’s Senior Discount Program, you must first establish a non-commercial, individual New Jersey E-ZPass account with the New Jersey E-ZPass Customer Service Center.
• After you have established your New Jersey E-ZPass account or if you already have a New Jersey E-ZPass account, you must submit the required information along with the DRPA Senior Discount Program Application. You are required to submit this application even if you participated in DRPA’s Senior Discount Ticket Program.
• All applications must be submitted with a copy of the applicant’s driver’s license.
• All applications must be submitted with a copy of the motor vehicle registration card for the vehicle that belongs to the applicant or applicant’s spouse. This vehicle registration must be issued from a state within the tri-state area (NJ, PA, and DE). For leased vehicles: a copy of the motor vehicle registration or LEASE AGREEMENT showing the eligible senior (or spouse) as the lessee, must be provided.
• The eligible senior citizen may identify only one (1) E-ZPass transponder to be used in the applicant’s personal vehicle that is registered in his/her name or his/her spouse’s name when enrolling in the program. If more than one senior citizen shares the same account and enrolls individual transponders, the names of all the eligible, enrolled senior citizens must be included on or added to the E-ZPass account as a sub account.
• Although transponder boxes are mobile, for the senior discount program, transponder boxes are tag specific. That means that transponder boxes registered to seniors must be in the declared vehicle of the senior and used only when the senior is driving. The eligible senior citizen must be driving at the time the toll transaction is processed.
• The discounted toll is valid on passenger vehicles only (the Gross Vehicle Weight cannot exceed 7000 lbs; however Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV) exceeding 7000 lbs are permitted). No commercial vehicles or vehicles being used for commercial purposes are eligible for this discount.
• You must use a designated “E-ZPass Only” lane at all DRPA toll plazas - Do not use a “Cash Only” lane or you will be required to pay the full toll.
• Discount is valid at any time on any of the four (4) DRPA bridges. They are: Benjamin Franklin, Walt Whitman, Betsy Ross and Commodore Barry.
• ATTENTION: Use of a transponder registered with DRPA for the Senior Discount Program by anyone who is not eligible will result in loss of privileges to the enrolled senior citizen participants and other seniors who share that E-ZPass account. DRPA reserves the right to assess full cash toll amounts retroactively for any and all tolls charged at the Senior Discount Program rate if any unauthorized use is detected.
