Delaware River bridges add cashless toll option starting Wednesday

The gradual end of paying cash to cross the Delaware River to Pennsylvania from Central and North Jersey is starting Wednesday when drivers will be offered a third option to “pay by license plate” in addition to cash and E-Zpass at six Delaware River Joint Toll Bridge Commission bridges.

The three ways to pay will eventually give way to two all-electronic methods, E-ZPass and toll-by-plate as the commission marches toward a cashless future that was announced last month.

Starting on Wednesday, drivers using the commission’s bridges between Trenton-Morrisville (Route 1); I-78; Easton-Phillipsburg (Route 202); Portland-Columbia (Routes 611, 46, and 94); the Delaware Water Gap (I-80); and Milford-Montague (Route 206) will have three ways to pay their toll, cash, toll by plate or E-ZPass.

Humane Society of Delaware County picks new CEO

The Humane Society of Delaware County has appointed a new leader as the organization’s longtime director moves toward retirement.

The animal rescue group’s board appointed Amanda Wampler as its new CEO, effective May 11, the organization posted on Facebook April 21.

Jana Cassidy, the humane society’s executive director for nearly a decade, is transitioning toward retirement and will now serve as chief operating officer in the near term to ensure a smooth transition.

The post from society Board President Megan Ricci says the board is confident Cassidy’s and Wampler’s experience, dedication and talents will elevate the humane society as it strives to build a new 22,000-square-foot facility that will be a go-to destination for adoption, veterinary care, training, boarding, and grooming.

“HSDC could not be in better hands than with these two extraordinary women,” the post reads.

Wampler is a proven nonprofit executive with experience in animal welfare and a demonstrated ability to help organizations expand and thrive, according to the humane society’s post.

Wampler currently is the national operations director for Siemer Institute, a Columbus-based organization that helps families across the U.S. achieve housing stability and enhance their children’s educational prospects, according to Wampler’s LinkedIn page. She also worked for the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department from 2016 to 2023.
