The state Thruway Authority will start holding public hearings today on a proposed toll hike for the highway. The plan would increase toll rates for drivers who don't have E-ZPass by 30% beginning January 1st.
Current E-ZPass customers aren't going to see any changes since the Thruway is switching to cashless tolling in a few weeks.
The hearings will take place online through Thursday and more information is available by visiting thruway.ny.gov.
