NY State Thruway Toll Hike To Being On Jan 1

syndication-democrat-and-chronicle

NEW YORK (77 WABC) — Get ready to fork over more dough if you drive on the New York Thruway.

The New York State Thruway Authority voted Tuesday to raise tolls by 30% for drivers without an E-ZPass starting January 1st. The Thruway eliminated cash tolls in November. That means drivers without an E-ZPass are sent a bill by mail. Starting in 2021, anyone billed by mail will also be charged a $2 administrative fee each time they are billed.

This is the first time in 10 years that tolls on the Thruway have been raised.

Toll revenues are down roughly 17% this year compared to 2019. This in large part due to the decrease in traffic from COVID-19.

Mario M. Cuomo Bridge is also set for a significant bump.
