ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York State Thruway is going completely cashless this weekend. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Thursday that the highway’s 450-mile, ticketed toll system will be converted to electronic collection during the overnight hours Friday into Saturday. The switch will happen simultaneously at 58 tolling locations, he said. The rest of the thruway system already stopped accepting cash payments. Cuomo said the thruway is moving to full cashless tolling more than a month ahead of schedule. He made the conversion a goal in his 2018 State of the State address.
