Tolling technology and traffic management solution provider TransCore has announced it has been awarded a contract by the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) to design, build, and maintain tolling technology on its four bridges spanning the Delaware River.
The four bridges between Pennsylvania and New Jersey – the Benjamin Franklin, Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry, and Betsy Ross Bridges – will be administered using an updated TransCore system.
The system, which combines TransCore’s Encompass 6 Multiprotocol reader with advanced image-based tolling technology, will enable more seamless travel across DRPA bridges.
The project also utilises TransCore’s Vehicle Capture and Recognition System and Vehicle Classification and Tracking System —an image-based solution that leverages TransCore’s artificial intelligence software to accurately detect, track, classify, and then optimally process vehicle transactions from low-profile overhead enclosures.

Since installing DRPA’s previous electronic toll collection system in 1999, TransCore has been providing DRPA with ongoing maintenance and periodic system upgrades.
Now, 25 years after implementing that system, DRPA has selected TransCore to design and deploy its replacement.
President and CEO of TransCore, Whitt Hall, said: “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.”
