Relates to the suspension of tolls collected during a state declaration of disaster emergency

S 4694 requires New York State Thruway tolls to automatically stop being collected during a state-declared disaster emergency that mandates evacuation due to natural or man-made disasters. This applies to all drivers using toll roads when the state issues such an emergency declaration under Executive Law §28. The bill amends Public Authorities Law to mandate this toll suspension as a standard procedure during declared emergencies. It directly affects drivers using New York State Thruway roads during disaster evacuations, removing financial barriers during urgent safety situations.
