Congressman Van Drew has formally requested Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy to initiate an investigation into TransCore, a company responsible for the E-ZPass contract in New Jersey, due to potential links with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Congressman Van Drew expressed concerns, stating, “I believe there is enough evidence here to warrant a deeper look. When it comes to national security, especially regarding critical infrastructure like our roadways, we simply cannot afford to take any chances. If there is even a possibility of foreign influence or interference, we need to investigate it fully.” The Congressman emphasized the need for a comprehensive review of TransCore’s ownership and international relationships to verify whether the company’s operations comply with U.S. security interests.
Van Drew called on Secretary Duffy to prioritize national security, urging “immediate action and conduct a thorough investigation into TransCore’s ownership structure and international relationships to ensure that the company’s operations align with American security interests. Our national security must always remain our top priority.”
