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

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.

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.

New York drivers with significant unpaid tolls can now be banned from the state’s 570-mile Thruway under a new regulation adopted by the Thruway Authority.

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.
