Bill > S02621

This bill modifies existing vehicle and traffic law to limit the number of tolls that can be charged on trucks entering New York City's central business district. Specifically, the bill amends a previous law about the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority's ability to establish tolls by adding trucks to the existing provision that prevents passenger vehicles from being charged more than one toll per day when entering the central business district. The context for this legislation relates to the MTA's broader tolling strategy, which aims to reduce traffic congestion and generate funding for capital projects. The bill ensures that trucks, like passenger vehicles, cannot be charged multiple times per day for entering the central business district. The new provision will take effect 60 days after becoming law, and it applies to vehicles as defined in the state's vehicle and traffic law. This change is part of a larger effort to manage traffic flow and generate revenue for infrastructure improvements in New York City.
