Assessment of Public Comment Summary: Public Input Received: The MTA received one written testimony submitted through the on-line portal /duplicated via postal mail; and oral testimony from two public speakers during the hearing. 19 Rule MakingActivities Of the three testimonies, one was in favor and one was neutral on the policy but did raise concerns about whether the fines may be too high es- pecially for the deaf community. The third commenter expressed support for conducting reasonable enforcement of weight restrictions, protecting critical infrastructure, holding carriers that operate above legal limits without authorization accountable, and updating the regulations for verti- cal clearances to reflect conditions, but did raise concerns about the need for the City of New York to unfreeze and modernize New York City’s overweight permit system. 1) Zach Miller Vice President of Government Affairs for the Trucking Association of New York (TANY) August 17th, 2026 Forest Hills New York On-Line\Posted Mail Com- ment D The Trucking Association of New York (TANY) supports reasonable enforcement of weight restrictions, carriers operating above legal limits without authorization should be held accountable, and protecting critical infrastructure is essential. D New York cannot fairly enforce truck weights through automated technology without offering carriers a practical way to become and remain compliant because of New York City’s freeze on divisible-load weight permits. D TANY also supports updating 21 NYCRR § 1021.2 so posted vehicle clearances at TBTA bridges and tunnels reflect current conditions and comply with VTL § 1621(c). D TANY urges the City and TBTAto: D Work with NYC DOT to unfreeze and modernize NYC’s over- weight permit s
