In December of 2019, the New York State Thruway Authority issued a proposal that would increase toll rates on the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. The proposal also establishes a 30 percent rate differential for toll by mail rates along the entire Thruway system and a 15 percent rate differential above the New York E-ZPass rate for Non-New York E-ZPass tolls.

Tolls are regressive, inefficient, debt schemes! Before cashless tolling, about 30% of revenue went just to administer and collect the toll. While that number may be a bit lower due to automated cashless tolling, with the sheer volume of errors and violation notices, the inefficiencies are passed to the toll payers.

the New York State Thruway Authority will hold three virtual public hearings regarding a proposal to adjust tolls and other changes that support the statewide conversion to cashless tolling.  The virtual public hearings will be held:

  • Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.
  • Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2020, 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.
  • Thursday, Oct. 15, 2020, 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.

The meetings will be held virtually through Cisco WebEx events and streamed live online with a link at thruway.ny.gov.

Individuals who do not wish to participate in the virtual public hearings may also submit comments via email at tollcomments@thruway.ny.gov

Frankly, the push for congestion pricing by some think tanks and advocates in the wake of Covid-19 is grotesque. Small businesses and commercial corridors are on life support adding any tax to them at this stage could kill them. Not to mention the trucking industry helped keep this nation afloat during the pandemic, adding a tax that disproportionately targets them is a slap in the face!
