(WIVB) — One month from now the first thruway toll increases in a decade take effect, but you’ll pay even more unless you enroll in E-ZPass.
Today the Thruway Board of Directors approved a toll adjustment which they say will pay the costs of converting to cashless tolling.
NY E-ZPass customers in western New York will not be impacted. Drivers who do not have E-ZPass would pay 30 percent more than the E-ZPass rate, with an additional $2 surcharge per billing statement.
Customers at the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge will see a change in their E-ZPass rate.
Drivers who receive a bill in the “tolls by mail” program will pay $2 to receive each bill.
