AAA Clubs of New Jersey endorse Transportation Funding Proposal

Voorhees, N.J., June 22, 2016 — The AAA Clubs of New Jersey endorse the TTF funding plan introduced by the Senate and Assembly on Monday.

“This legislation offers a responsible plan with a dedicated, sustainable funding stream to pay down our transportation debt and invest in our infrastructure,” said David Antrilli, President and CEO of AAA South Jersey. 

“Leaving our roads in disrepair while we relied on more and more borrowing has cost motorists thousands of dollars in repairs and added maintenance costs over the years. The American Society of Civil Engineers puts the added costs for our lack of investment at an additional $1,951 a year.

“This is about making our roads safe for motorists, investing in infrastructure that will move commuters and goods across our state efficiently and addressing not just today’s maintenance needs but tomorrow’s infrastructure needs as well,” Antrilli said.

“AAA thanks Legislative leaders for putting together this plan and urges the Legislature to quickly pass it.”

The AAA Clubs of New Jersey — AAA North Jersey, AAA New Jersey Automobile Club, AAA Mid-Atlantic and AAA South Jersey — provide automotive, travel, insurance and financial services to more than two million members through 26 offices across the state. The AAA Clubs of New Jersey are affiliated with AAA, the not-for-profit, fully tax paying federation of automobile clubs, which serves as an advocate for motorists and travelers.
