RSSThe 4984 Kapsch TrafficCom all-electronic toll (AET) system at the Tappan Zee Bridge went live and began collecting toll revenue on 24 April in South Nyack, on the 570-mile New York State Thruway.

Kapsch installed this multi-lane free-flow AET system for the New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA), which operates and manages the bridge, over the winter after the system successfully passed a series of commissioning and integration tests.

The on-schedule opening of these tolled, cashless traffic lanes eliminates the need for drivers to stop at tolling points commences NYSTA’s implementation of more seamless traffic flow along the Thruway, which is one of the busiest and most vital commercial and commuter highways in the Northeast.

The South Nyack site carries the highest traffic volume on the entire Thruway and is one of the busiest tolled travel zones in the United States, with traffic volumes of up to 140,000 vehicles per day.
