Welcome to the Woodbury Mobility Improvement Project Website

The New York State Thruway Authority will be improving operations at the existing toll barrier by introducing the use of Highway Speed E-ZPass. Since its introduction,
E-ZPass usage has continued to grow and is currently used by a majority of motorists traveling along the Thruway.  The New York State Thruway Authority is committed to providing high levels of safety and service to its users.  Highway Speed
E-ZPass is one such initiative that the Authority is implementing to fulfill this commitment. 

Highway Speed E-ZPass lanes allow E-ZPass customers to electronically pay their tolls without slowing from highway speeds.  Cash and ticket traffic will continue to slow from highway speeds, make their transactions and accelerate back to highway speeds.  Highway Speed E-ZPass traffic is separated from the cash and ticket traffic through the use of concrete barriers as they approach and leave the toll barrier.   

Highway Speed E-ZPass is a proven technology that can process significantly more vehicles than conventional E-ZPass only lanes or staffed toll lanes.  The processing rate of a Highway Speed E-ZPass lane is twice the capacity of a conventional E-ZPass Only lane and up to ten times the capacity of a combination cash/E-ZPass lane.  Highway Speed E-ZPass reduces the delays and reduces exhaust emissions from idling vehicles associated with the toll barrier. 

Highway Speed E-ZPass is the latest example of the Authority providing innovative solutions to increasingly complex problems while continuing to provide high levels of safety and service to its customers.
