Reminder: Thruway toll hike hearings

Aug 15, 2012
by Bill Stroh

The New York Thruway Authority has announced plans to raise tolls by 45% on the New York State Thruway for most commercial trucks by October 2012. The details are contained in a four page Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and can be viewed here.

On July 17, The Business Council participated in a press conference opposing the hikes. Here are reports from The Business Review and Politics on the Hudson on that press conference.

Part of the toll hike rule-making process requires public hearings across the state prior to implementation and below is information about them.

Buffalo Area

Date: Thursday, August 16, 2012
Time: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Location: Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, Auditorium (Main Level)
1 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, NY 14203

Syracuse Area

Date: Friday, August 17, 2012
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Location: Double Tree by Hilton
6301 State Route 298, East Syracuse, NY 13057

Mid-Hudson Area

Date: Saturday, August 18, 2012
Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Location: 15 Crossroads Court, Newburgh, NY 12550

Members of the public may present testimony at these hearings. If you wish to testify, simply show up before the hearing begins and sign-in, indicating that you wish to testify. Oral testimony will be limited to three minutes. Written testimony may also be submitted with no restrictions. I’d suggest that you bring about a dozen copies of your written testimony for distribution to the hearing panel.

The full eighty-seven page consultant’s report addressing the Thruway’s financial requirements and proposed toll adjustments may be viewed here.
