While NJ Transit riders are looking at a possible fare hike, one group of commuters will be spared a similar increase in the coming fiscal year.

Drivers will not see an increase in the fees they pay to register a motor vehicle, renew their driver’s license or conduct other transactions this year, state Motor Vehicle Commission officials said.  This is also the year the MVC starts shopping for a company to run the states inspection stations.

“The last increase was in 2009 and some have decreased since then. The internet transaction fee has gone down,” said Raymond Martinez, MVC chief administrator, who has overseen the agency since 2010. “Some fees are done by statute, some are by regulation. We have not increased any fees since I got here.”
