ALBANY – Canadians skipping out on toll bills on the New York State Thruway will soon be over — at least for those who live in Ontario.
The state Thruway Authority announced an agreement Thursday with the Province of Ontario to access the addresses of Ontario residents so it can send bills to Canadians who do not have E-ZPass and use a cashless-tolling facility on the Thruway.
The agreement comes after reports that Canadians have been able to dodge the tolls, particularly at the Grand Island bridges in western New York, without ever getting nabbed by New York.
Because the Thruway Authority didn't have access to transportation records in Canada, it couldn't follow up with the foreign drivers by sending them a bill in the mail — as the Thruway does with U.S. drivers.
