December 18, 2018 -- “I’m thrilled to see cashless tolls coming to Interstate 95 in New Rochelle. This is certainly a welcome holiday gift, as this was a measure that I long pushed for when I was a New York State Assemblyman and State Senator. The New Rochelle tolls, will join Yonkers’ tolls, utilizing sensors overhead that read a car's E-Z Pass. The cashless system is easy and modern and keeps traffic moving – all positives.
"This will relieve nearby residents of New Rochelle, Larchmont and Mamaroneck of the traffic back up at the tollbooths that generate air pollution for those living alongside I-95. It will finally eliminate the overflow traffic that clogs nearby streets whenever drivers leave I-95 seeking an alternate route.
“I congratulate the Governor and the New York State Thruway Authority for making this happen. I’m looking forward to taking advantage of the cashless system next time I’m on 95.”
George Latimer, Westchester County Executive
