Thruway Toll Adjustment Proposal

Highlights | Tolls on Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge | News | Toll Schedules | Additional Info | Public Hearings and Comments

On Monday, Dec. 5, 2022, the New York State Thruway Authority Board of Directors authorized the first step of the public toll adjustment process on the New York State Thruway system which will include public hearings, receiving and considering public comments, and ultimately final consideration by the Thruway Authority Board of Directors within the next year. The Thruway is a user-fee supported roadway and receives no federal, state, or local tax dollars.

The Thruway Authority, supported by analysis from its independent traffic engineering consultants, has determined that there are additional revenues required for the Authority to fulfill its system-wide operating, debt service, and capital needs through the upcoming forecast period.
