Directs the New York thruway authority to implement a toll discount program for certain residents without E-ZPass accounts.

The bill, known as the "thruway toll equality act," directs the New York thruway authority to establish a toll discount program. This program waives additional costs, including fees, penalties, and surcharges, for qualified residents who do not have an E-ZPass account or transponder and receive a toll bill by mail. Qualified residents must pay the same toll amount as those with E-ZPass accounts. The bill also specifies that toll bills will not be generated until the toll amount reaches $30 or after one year. If tolls are not paid within 120 days, fees and charges may be assessed.
