The MacKay Bridge _ Steve Gow CANADAHALIFAX news Bridge authority sends early warning to HRM drivers to upgrade toll transponders by admin 20 سبتمبر، 2024 written by admin 20 سبتمبر، 2024 49 CITYnews halifax / By 95.7 News Radio Staff Time running out for drivers in the Halifax area to swap their MACPASS hard-shell for the new sticker version. According to Halifax Harbour Bridges (HHB), drivers crossing either the MacKay or Macdonald Bridges have just over 100 days to get the more efficient updated sticker version of the MACPASS. As part of efforts to upgrade its tolling system to provide quicker service, HHB announced it will phase out the aging hard shell toll transponders by Dec. 31. “The idea is that on December 31st, the hardshells won’t work anymore,” says Steven Proctor, spokesperson for HHB. “There will be lots of warning in advance of that; this is just one of those efforts to warn people that this is a necessity. We have to do this to make sure that the system works effectively for the greatest number of people.” Proctor says the vast majority of drivers have switched, but some people are still using the 25-year-old hardshell transponders to pass through bridge tolls. He adds completing the swap is as simple as going to mymacpass.com and requesting the stickers, which will be mailed within three business days. A MACPASS swap countdown clock is displayed on the main page of the HHB website to remind people of the deadline. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Family of inmate who died in Nova Scotia jail starts legal action against province next post Orders now being taken for School Lunch program at first 28 schools You may also like Halifax police investigate suspicious incident where woman approached... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Man charged after police respond to stabbing call... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Pair arrested after search of illegal cannabis store,... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Damaged Nova Scotia-P.E.I. ferry expected to resume sailing... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia NDP releases election platform focused on... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 غسان البراكس: الصليب الأحمر الكندي يدعم بقوة نظيره... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 نوفا سكوشا: لجنة الانتخابات تحقق في توزيع بطاقات... 14 نوفمبر، 2024 Latest survey shows majority of votes would go... 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Chance of flurries this week in Halifax 12 نوفمبر، 2024 Canadian Union of Postal Workers issues 72-hour strike... 12 نوفمبر، 2024
