New York Still Presses for Canadians' Vehicle Registration Data
WGRZ reports, New York State officials are pressing Canadian authorities to conclude the data sharing agreements that are required to bill Canadian motorists by mail for thruway tolls. New York Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul tells the station, “We are literally in the final days of our negotiations with the Canadian Government, the province of Ontario to resolve the situation which has been profoundly unfair.” Thruway officials tell the station they need more time to determine how much revenue loss has resulted from their inability to send toll bills across the border.

WFTS reports, ” The Florida Department of Transportation is working to use more of a special kind of pavement to help reduce crashes. It is called a high-friction surface treatment. The safety-first pavement treatment is intended to restore and maintain pavement friction. It is a thin layer of high-quality polish-resistant aggregate bonded to the pavement surface with polymer resin binder, according to FDOT.” Data reportedly shows a decrease in accident rates at places here FDOT has applied the treatment so far, but the department acknowledges that proper use of the material involves “a big learning process.”
