EZ Pass

The final gantry has been erected over the NYS Thruway, with plans to take the roadway cashless starting in November - including in Utica and Rome. Those without an EZ Pass could see a toll hike as well.

The New York State Thruway is on track to go cashless by the end of the year - through the use of over 2,000 cameras watching cars go by daily - including the Utica exit.

Forget about paying cash on the New York State Thruway next year.

If the Thruway Authority has their way those of us without an EZ Pass will pay 30% more in tolls.
