We maintained tight financial controls over all areas and made sure any dollars spent were done so in a fiscally responsible manner. Quality of life issues such as JOHN J. reducing traffic congestion and providing reliable mass transit continue to MATHEUSSEN be our prime goals. We also set the groundwork in 2010 for two historic Chief Executive Officer, DRPA President of PATCO capital improvement projects, the overhaul of PATCO’s 120 car fleet and the re-decking of the main span of the Walt Whitman Bridge. At our four bridges, toll revenue continued to rise to a total of $244 million compared to $243 million in 2009. We carried close to 101 million vehicles on all four bridges. PATCO transported over 10.1 million riders in 2010, up from just over 10 million riders in 2009, and the RiverLink Ferry carried 160,000 passengers, down from 165,500 in 2009, establishing a one day ridership record of 7,500 passengers. We are continuing to introduce new programs and initiatives aimed at further enhancing the services we provide to our PATCO customers. PATCO will be conducting an “Open Payment Pilot” project that will allow customers to pay their fares at the fare gate using a credit or debit card. Another customer amenity for FREEDOM Card holders will be access to PATCO’s new web-based program allowing FREEDOM Card customers to load their cards on-line, register on-line and download all transactions. The “FREEDOM to Save” rider savings program is popular with both our customers and area merchants and the “PATCO Cares” program provides an opportunity for local charitable and non-profit organizations to promote their causes to PATCO riders. The Authority continues moving forward on two important programs. One is the “Lean Government” program designed
