Tolls on the New York State Thruway are scheduled to rise in January as part of a multi-year increase. The toll for the short trip between Albany and Schenectady will increase by one penny, from $0.28 to $0.29. Longer trips, such as from Albany to Buffalo, will increase from $12.8 to $13.41.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The toll increase adds to existing high gas prices, increasing the overall cost of commuting and transportation in the region. The tolls were originally intended to pay for highway construction but were made permanent in 1992 to fund interstate maintenance.
