Going to NY/NJ - should I take my iPass (toll transponder)?
#10
i would definitely bring the ipass.

the nyc metro version is called ez pass.

i do know for us, we need to let the ez pass folks know the license plate of the car designated for that transponder.

is that the same policy u have with your ipass? even for out-of-state rental cars?

jfk->orangeburg at 4pm on a friday is a very long and heavily trafficked trip. u need to go north across the boro of queens, then west over triboro bridge up north to the gw bridge, west over the bridge then north up to orangeberg. a bad weather day or a traffic headache and the 75min can easily be 2hrs.

jfk->van wyck (terrible road especially in traffic) ->grand central -> triboro/robert kennedy bridge ->major deegan thruway->geo washington bridge->palisades parkway->orangeburg exit 7...i think

880am traffic reports on the 8s 5:08
1010am traffic reports on the 1s 5:01
1130am traffic reports on the 15s 5:15

with all of this emphasis on traffic, please try to remember nyc is great. enjoy yourself if u manage to get into town and not just drive thru it!

pm me if u want really detailed traffic thoughts.

be well

rob
