A 3291 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the suspension of tolls collected during a state declaration of disaster emergency

This bill requires New York State Thruway tolls to be automatically suspended for all drivers using the road during a state-declared disaster emergency when evacuation is mandated due to a natural or man-made disaster. It directly affects drivers traveling on the Thruway during such emergencies, ensuring they aren't charged tolls while complying with evacuation orders. The key mechanism is a legal amendment to the Thruway's rules, mandating toll suspension whenever the state declares a disaster emergency under Executive Law §28. The policy change applies specifically to the New York State Thruway, not all toll roads, and takes effect 120 days after enactment.
