FINAL
Monthly transactions for FY 2025 and FY 2026 for the total system are presented in Table 1 by vehicle type and payment method. This table and the remaining tables in this report will present TVI report data and represent transactions and associated revenue in the month the toll is paid. Significant monthly variations can be observed in transaction totals and the distribution of transactions by payment method. These variations are the result of the timing of transaction processing in the back office, and not reflective of variations in traffic on MDTA system facilities. Total passenger car transactions for FY 2026 were 1.3 percent higher than FY 2025, and commercial vehicles were 2.9 percent higher for the same period. This trend is largely impacted by year-over-year differences in ETC transactions reported throughout the fiscal year. Overall, ETC transactions increased by 1.6 percent for FY 2026 and video transactions decreased by 1.1 percent, yielding an increase in total transactions of 1.4 percent over the same period in FY 2025. The decline in video transactions in the second half of the fiscal year was due to impacts in timing of video collection payments, though a significant portion was collected in June. Monthly collected toll revenue for FY 2025 and FY 2026 for the total system are provided in Table 2 . Figure 2 is a graphical depiction of the share of toll revenue by method of payment and vehicle class for the same period. It is important to note there was a delay in reporting New York Thruway E-ZPass transactions in April and May, which caused a one-time overperformance in June 2025 for both passenger and commercial vehicles of 22.1 and 56.6 percent, respectively. Therefore, this month is significantly higher than the remaining months of FY 2025. Similarly, a delay in the number of days processed of E-ZPass transactions in April 2026 caused an increase in May 2026. Systemwide toll revenue for passenger cars was 0.2 percent lower in the second half of FY 2026 and revenue for commercial vehicles was 1.0 percent higher than the same period in FY 2025. Overall, total FY 2026 toll revenue (excluding other revenue) increased 2.1 percent compared to FY 2025. This shows a return to normal growth trends after several years of irregular collections impacting year-over-year trends.
