Budget Highlights

The New York State Thruway Authority is responsible for the operation of a 641 mile toll highway system, along with the 524 mile New York State Canal System. The Canal Development Program is the only Thruway program reflected in the Executive Budget. All other Thruway and Canal System programs are supported by Authority revenues and are not included in the Executive Budget.

This agency is included in the Transportation, Economic Development, and Environmental Conservation appropriation bill.

State Operations

The Executive proposes an appropriation of $4,000,000 for the Canal Development Program, a 100 percent increase over State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2003-04. This appropriation would be supported by increased revenue from property agreements, rental fees and user fees other than lockage fees. Revenues from the Canal Development Fund are available for the development, promotion, maintenance and construction of the canals. Spending on the canal system totals approximately $60,000,000 for operations, capital projects and ongoing revitalization, which is funded through other State and Authority resources.
