The following vehicle types or classes apply for your travel on the Niagara Thruway. In many cases, the only defining factor for your vehicle class is the number of axles. A guide for all classes and payments for New York may be found on the toll payments page.

Remember, when counting axles, make certain to count all axles with wheels touching the ground. Be sure to include axles on any trailers your vehicle may be towing. That is the criteria for determining the total axles on your vehicle.
