“It was a nightmare, honestly,” Briere told me on Wednesday from her home.
It started last summer, when Briere traveled to New Jersey to purchase a new vehicle. She added the temporary dealer plate to her E-ZPass account, just to make sure there were no issues with the transponder as she awaited her permanent plates in the mail.
On a subsequent billing statement, Briere noticed something bizarre: There were dozens of tolls from New York and New Jersey charged to her account. The tab was more than $400.

These student workers perform tasks ranging from test collection to contact tracing to administering vaccines.
During the fall semester, the Public Health Promotion Center (PHPC) performed 12-13,000 tests per week for more than 160,000 tests of UMass students, faculty and staff. This spring, the testing center will expand to do between 22,000 and 25,000 tests a week as more students will be living on campus and community testing continues. In addition, nursing students will assist this winter and spring with COVID-19 vaccination clinics on campus.
