Independent Study
"Another Upside to E-ZPass: Healthier Babies
"Not only has E-ZPass shortened commutes, it might be making babies healthier too.
"Mothers who lived near a toll plaza with an E-ZPass had fewer instances of premature births and low birth-weight babies, according to a new study.
"Janet Currie and Reed Walker of Columbia University’s Department of Economics compared mothers that lived within three kilometers of a toll plaza with those that lived within three kilometers of a major highway (but not near a toll plaza) in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
"By reducing congestion and emissions through the E-ZPass system, premature births dropped 10.8% and instances of low birth weight declined 11.8% for mothers within two kilometers of the toll plaza.
"For those who lived three kilometers from the plaza, prematurity and low birth weight fell 7.3% and 8.4%, respectively." Source: Real Time Economics 10/14/2009

Some airport parking welcomes E-ZPass
By Linda Loyd
Philadelphia Inquirer Staff Writer: Sunday 11/29/09
"E-ZPass, the world's largest electronic toll system, is now at airports near you - including parking lots at Atlantic City International Airport.
You can also use E-ZPass to pay for parking at five other airports: Newark, N.J.; and John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, Albany, and Syracuse, all in New York.
"But not Philadelphia International Airport. Yet.
"The Philadelphia Parking Authority, which operates parking at the Philadelphia airport, is scheduled to meet tomorrow with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to discuss putting E-ZPass in some parking-toll lanes at the airport here."
