S 3701 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the adjudication of toll collection violations

This bill allows New York's toll authorities (like the Thruway and Bridge Authorities) to charge administrative fees for toll violations and establish specialized tribunals to handle these cases. It permits electronic notices for violations instead of mail and directs that penalty funds go to a new transit crime fund for crime prevention programs on transit systems. The bill directly affects drivers who fail to pay tolls by creating a formal process to resolve violations and redirecting collected penalties toward safety initiatives. It does not change toll rates or payment methods but streamlines enforcement and fund allocation.
