There has not been a toll increase on the Thruway since 1980.
The issue of a toll increase came up again at the authority's March 26, 1987, meeting.
The toll increase is expected to generate $117 million in new revenue each year.
He said the toll increase should generate $40.6 million annually.
A toll increase would generate $96 million in new revenue next year.
If approved, the toll increase would be the sixth in 11 years.
The latter toll increase took place effective November 18, 2008.
Indeed, for working people who use these bridges to get to work, the proposed toll increase would mean an additional $750 a year.
The thought, therefore, of another toll increase is even more upsetting to me and everyone else in this situation.
The toll increase of 50% in March 2010 was the first rise for nearly 15 years.
