| Coalition plans to counter proposed truck ban in upstate NY Coalition plans to counter proposed truck ban in upstate NY Quote:
For more than a year, OOIDA and its New York members – along with other trucking, manufacturing and agricultural groups – have been fighting a proposed regulation that would ban heavy trucks from seven key routes in the Finger Lakes region in upstate New York. Gov. David Paterson, however, is moving forward with the ban.
Mike Joyce, director of legislative affairs in OOIDA’s DC office, recently received word that the governor’s office has “signed off” on the proposed regulation. This means that the proposed rule should appear on the New York State’s Register in the next two to three weeks,which will then trigger a 45-day comment period.
“We’re going to continue dialogue with the New York State Department of Transportation and the governor’s office,” Joyce told Land Line on Friday, Aug. 7. “We still believe very firmly that this regulation will inhibit continued economic recovery for the state of New York because it creates another government regulation that impedes economic growth.”
