Operative words

"Cashless tolling system" now live across the Thruway; "[the largest change for the] Thruway Authority since the first tolls were collected in 1954"; toll plazas "will be an active construction zone" during booth removal (release text as rendered).

Enforcement

Pub. Auth. Law § 361-a; 21 NYCRR part 101 (tolls by mail)

Notes

Post-emergency conversion accelerated during COVID-19; context for the toll-authority chronology (New York's cashless program predated COVID-19 and was scheduled for late 2020).

Retrieval note

Context; the conversion was pre-planned and is not pleaded as a COVID-19 order.
