SALINA, N.Y. — Gov. Andrew Cuomo is proposing that tolls on the New York State Thruway remain unchanged through 2020.
He also wants to offer incentives to cut tolls “in half for those who rely on the Thruway the most.” And, farmers who use E-ZPass in their vehicles to bring farm goods to market could have tolls “eliminated completely through a 100 percent credit.”
The governor is also calling for a $22 billion, multi-year capital plan to upgrade “critical” roads, bridges, and other vital transportation infrastructure throughout the state.
