The Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) is going to use less paper.

The DRPA, the transportation agency that controls the bridges that run between Southern New Jersey and the Philadelphia region, purchased $9,000 worth of iPads for its board members and top aides, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported. It expects to save $25,000 to $30,000 on printing and distribution costs of its agendas and monthly reports, according to the Inquirer.

SEPTA’s board members, too, have been using iPads for the past two years.
