Road toll relief to start in the new year, MP says
Member for Gosford Mr Liesl Tesch has confirmed that road toll relief will start on January 1 with a $60 toll cap.
She said it will be "an election promise delivered".
"Our motorists, whose access to public transport alternatives are more limited than in other parts of the state, have been crying out for relief from the ever-rising burden of tolls on the family budget.
"Motorists who spend above $60 per week will be able to claim back their spend above this amount, via a quarterly refund from Service NSW.
"Labor's $60 toll cap is part of ending an era in which government placed more emphasis on growing toll revenue than helping people get around, without breaking the bank."
Ms Tesch said she knew people in Umina who reported sometimes spending as much as $1000 on tolls each week.
