BILL NUMBER: S4834
TITLE OF BILL : An act in relation to discontinuing the collection
of tolls at the Grand Island bridges in the Niagara section of the New
York state thruway
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF THE BILL :
To direct the Thruway Authority to eliminate the toll at the Grand
Island Bridges.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1 - The bill directs the New York State Thruway Authority to
discontinue tolls at the Grand Island Bridges in the Niagara section
of the Governor Thomas E. Dewey Thruway.
JUSTIFICATION :
The Grand Island Bridges are the only way to travel on to and off of
Grand Island. This toll is an unjustified tax on residents of Grand
Island, who have no other means by which to travel to and from their
Grand Island homes. The elimination of the Grand Island Thruway toll
will alleviate the traffic congestion and eliminate the wait that
commuters and other travelers often face. Furthermore, it would serve
to improve air quality by reducing the idle time of running
