New York A00034 would allow the thruway authority to issue permits for ambulances and fire vehicles, exempting them from tolls during emergency.

New York A00034 amends the public authorities law to authorize the thruway authority to issue permits for ambulances and fire vehicles. These permits would exempt the vehicles from paying tolls on the New York state thruway when engaged in emergency operations. The authority is also directed to issue refunds for tolls incurred by such vehicles during emergency operations while the application for emergency services permits is pending. The authority must establish rules and regulations for the process of applying for these permits. The bill was vetoed by the governor on December 5, 2025.
