OH-NY truck tollway link "doesn't pencil out" - FHWA report - but…


A Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) study finds tolling of longer combination vehicles (LCVs) on a key link between the Chicago and Boston areas won't finance the project. The study finds that tolls on LCVs (mostly for long double trailer trucks) on a newly built truckway between the Ohio Turnpike near Cleveland and the western end of the New York State Thruway would not come close to being financially viable.

New York Thruway chief says working to prune back free E-ZPasses for state employees


Michael Fleischer executive director of the New York State Thruway Authority has told local television in Albany NY he won't defend the way E-ZPass transponders have been provided free to state employees in the past.

New York State Thruway to commission study of future toll collection including cashless


The New York State Thruway Authority will be hiring consultants soon to study the costs and benefits of different toll collection modes including all-electronic tolling (AET), also known as cashless.

But a reader pointed out to us a pair of postings that have just popped up on the NYSTA website.

New York state comptroller says extra Federal funding may reduce need for Thruway toll hike, hits ORT projects


New York State Comptroller Thomas P DiNapoli says in an audit of proposed toll increases by the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) that the authority is underestimating the federal grants it can obtain from USDOT. The toll increases, he says, should be reconsidered. DiNapoli says NYSTA should be able to "conservatively" bank on getting $125m over five years 2008-2012 from the feds, whereas the NYSTA staff are only counting on $4.9m/year. He thinks they are missing out on $100m.
