Truckers brace for economic blows if truck ban is adopted in upstate NY

Quote:

Despite pleas from the trucking community and businesses that depend on trucks to move their products, New York Gov. David Paterson recently signed off on a proposed regulation to ban heavy trucks from certain state routes in the Finger Lakes region in upstate New York.

The proposed regulation is expected to be posted in the New York State’s Register, as soon as next Wednesday, Aug. 26, whichthen triggers a 45-day comment period. Mike Joyce, director of legislative affairs in OOIDA’s DC office, said truckers who oppose this reg need to make their voices heard.

While some residents argue the truck ban is necessary to protect their “sense of environmental quality that is unique to that region of the state,” OOIDA member Terry Button of Rushville, NY, told Land Line that he’s concerned they just might get their wish, with far greater economic consequences than they imagine.

Button, a lifelong resident of the Finger Lakes region, said if the proposed regulation is adopted, small-business truckers and other businesses that operate in upstate New York will be left to deal with the “repercussions” if they are forced to pay additional operating costs for tolls and fuel to route around these state roads.

Like most problems, it is a small group that has the time and money to seem important. Most people in that region don't give a #### about the trucks running. I will say many of the towns have signs about the use of jake-brakes in the villages. I always thought that was common sense though.
