RFID Tags to be Required at Port of New York/New Jersey

Trucks serving the Ports of New York and New Jersey will be required to use Radio Frequency Identification technology sometime next year. The RFID mandate will require each truck serving the port to be identified through its VIN number and other characteristics to enhance port officials' ability to identify vehicle that may pose a security risk, reports the American Trucking Associations' Intermodal Carriers Conference.
