Capital Program
The Thruway Authority's primary source of revenue comes from tolls collected along the Thruway System. The Thruway Authority receives no State funding and receives very little Federal aid.
The Thruway Authority manages 2,818 lane miles of highway and more than 800 bridges. More than 246.7 million trips were taken on the Thruway in 2009, representing more than 8.1 billion miles traveled. As such, it is imperative that the Thruway Authority's highways and bridge assets remain in good condition and that there is a proper expenditure of resources to keep the highway free of debris, potholes, and snow and ice, to ensure the safe and efficient movement of goods, services and people.
The Thruway plays a vital role in the New York State economy and is a critical transportation artery. The Thruway's infrastructure is now more than 50 years old; more frequent and more costly repairs are required to maintain safe and reliable driving conditions for the millions of motorists who choose to travel the Thruway each year.
