A 1294 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits disclosure of highway, bridge, tunnel and other thoroughfare toll and transit records, with exceptions

This bill (A 1294) protects the privacy of electronic toll and transit payment records, such as E-Z Pass and MetroCard data, by making them confidential. It directly affects motorists using toll systems, transit riders with account-based payment methods, and the public entities managing these systems. The law prohibits public disclosure of individual travel records under most circumstances but allows access for account holders to review their own data, for law enforcement with valid warrants or subpoenas in criminal cases, for billing disputes, and for specific student ID sharing with NYC schools. It does not affect aggregate data use or the collection of tolls/fare revenues.
