If you don't pay your New York State Thruway tolls, you may be barred from driving on it, according to a new law.

A new law in New York State will ban drivers who don't pay their tolls from the New York State Thruway. Jamie DeLine explains the new law.

The loss is particularly problematic because tolls and related fees make up more than 90% of the Thruway Authority’s total revenue each year.

The New York State Thruway Authority has lost $631,000 in revenue this year from motorists hiding or altering their plates from tolling cameras, a 55% surge from 2023.

WTEN reports a new regulation adopted by the NYS Thruway Authority allows the agency to “exclude” people from driving on the state’s 570-mile Thruway system, temporarily or permanently, if tolls are not paid. The measure aims to recoup an estimated $40 million in unpaid tolls from 2023.
