High-speed open road, cashless tolling is to begin at the Grand Island toll barriers in March of 2018, in an effort to reduce congestion, improve safety, and reduce air pollution according to New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo.
As part of the transition to a more convenient and cost effective way to travel New York's roadways, the Governor is encouraging all commuters to sign up for an E-ZPass and save on tolls across the state, including a five percent discount along the entire 570-mile New York State Thruway.
Grand Island is an important connector for residents and tourists travelling to Buffalo, Niagara Falls and beyond. Cuomo said, "By transitioning to cashless tolling, one of these most travelled roads in Western New York will become safer and less congested to help meet the needs of 21st century motorists."
