New york state toll by mail
The convenience of paying tolls by mail!
In New York State, the Thruway Authority and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) offer a toll by mail option for drivers who don't have an E-ZPass or have an outstanding toll balance. Here's how it works:
How to Pay Tolls by Mail:
- Check your mail: If you've received a toll bill or notice from the Thruway Authority or MTA, it's likely because you've incurred a toll debt. The bill will include the amount owed, the toll facility, and the date of the toll.
- Pay online or by mail: You can pay your toll bill online through the Thruway Authority's website or by mailing a check or money order to the address listed on the bill.
- Payment options: You can pay by:
- Check or money order made payable to the New York State Thruway Authority or the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
- Credit card (online only).
- Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) from your bank account (online only).
- Payment deadline: Make sure to pay your toll bill by the due date to avoid late fees and penalties.
Toll by Mail Fees:
- Thruway Authority: A $2.50 processing fee will be added to your toll bill if you pay by mail.
- MTA: A $2.50 processing fee will be added to your toll bill if you pay by mail.
Tips and Reminders:
- Keep your toll receipts and records, as you may need to provide proof of payment if you're audited.
- If you're a frequent user of toll roads, consider getting an E-ZPass, which can save you time and money.
- If you're having trouble paying your toll bill, you may be eligible for a payment plan or financial assistance program.
By paying your tolls by mail, you'll avoid any potential fines or penalties for non-payment. Just make sure to pay on time and keep your records in order!
