My name is Zach Miller.

I'm the Vice President of Government Affairs for the Trucking Association of New York.

I have full written testimony submitted, but I think in the interest of time, I certainly don't need to read it.
2:05:00
I just want to say we are strongly supportive of Intro '99, and we really, really appreciate the leadership of this committee, not just with Intro '99, but the overnight truck parking bill that was passed a few years ago, as well as the Truck Route Modernization Act, as well as the oversight hearing you had on electrification.
2:05:20
These are holistic solutions that will serve to address not just today's truck parking challenges, but some of the future challenges that we expect to see with an increase in freight tonnage.
2:05:31
So from the industry, thank you.
2:05:33
We are grateful for these common sense solutions, and we look forward to continued collaborations with the council.
