 Several Florida Turnpike toll plazas converted to all-electronic tolling as of March 15. Here are the tolling plazas that were affected.
Staten Island, N.Y., is one step closer to being toll-booth free.
The Outerbridge Crossing is scheduled to be converted to all-electronic tolling by the end of April.
Important note: the Bayonne Bridge has a speed limit of 25 mph until construction is complete.

The entire month of March is known as National Nutrition Month! If you're like us, you know that there's things that you can do to live a healthier lifestyle, but it's easy to get wrapped up into the day-to-day shuffle.
Truth is, you really need to take care of yourself and make your health a priority. Here's a couple of interesting facts and tips to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
1. Learn how to read a
nutrition label, quickly and correctly.
Nutrition labels can look like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. Here's what you should
zero in on
.
2. Grains are important! Eating whole grains delivers a wide variety of health benefits, including a lower risk of diabetes, heart disease, obesity and high blood pressure. The bran (hard outer shell) of a whole grain kernel contains fiber, minerals and antioxidants. The middle layer is made up of carbs, and the germ (inner layer) has key vitamins, minerals, protein and plant
compounds! Check out the
difference between whole grain and refined grain
. Hungry? Popcorn is a great whole grain snack!
3. Limit packaged foods. We totally understand the appeal: packaged foods are quick and easy and most of the time, super delicious, but what's in them? A lot of packaged foods are packed with additives, preservatives and are high in sugar and contain
trans fat, which means they are not good for you.
4. Juice really
isn't that good for you.
Your morning orange juice isn't that much different from a can of soda. T
he average 12-ounce soda contains roughly 35 to 45 grams of sugar. The same amount of orange juice comes in at about 30 grams, apple juice delivers about 40 grams and pomegranate juice can top 45 grams. Your drink of choice should be good 'ole H2O, which leads us to our next point...
5. Drink more water! Experts say that
you should try to drink between half an ounce to an ounce of water for each pound you weigh, every day. Add some lemon or mint to spice it up, or try drinking it hot
to reap some extra benefits.

Employee Spotlight
Two New Faces in Customer Service!
|
Earlier this month, we hired two new customer service representatives to join our team! Help us give Krystal and Dave a warm welcome the next time you give us a shout.
Meet Krystal:
Krystal joined our team in March as a customer support representative and recently moved to Albany, N.Y., from Brooklyn, N.Y. Her Netflix 'recently watched' includes a lot of crime television. Ask her what her favorite crime show is!
Meet Dave: Dave also joined our team in March as a customer support
representative. His preferred method of transportation are his skis! Good thing he lives here in the northeast. He's a big outdoorsman and loves spending some quality time with nature.
