Think Again is an umbrella organization comprised of Greater York Area citizens supported by York’s Board of Selectmen, York’s (regional) Chamber of Commerce and local legislators

Our mission is to oppose the Maine Turnpike Authority’s proposal to construct a new toll booth facility in 1 of 4 yet undisclosed York locations, and to convince Maine Turnpike Authority to retrofit current York toll booth facility

The MTA's proposal threatens and impacts the entire town of York and surrounding communities. It is an ill conceived plan, based upon a flawed business model with severe economic, cultural, and environmental effects to our land, farms, homes, historic sites, wetlands and rivers and our property values.

Accordingly, we want the MTA to:

Abandon their proposed plan to relocate the existing York Southern Toll Plaza to one of four proposed locations. This plan is disproportional in size and is an “affront” to current thinking toward contemporary toll collection technologies, reducing our carbon footprint, and developing “green” technology

 

 Rehabilitate the current toll plaza to mitigate MTA’s claimed safety concerns


 Respond and react to our request that current plaza be LEDPA (least environmentally damaging practicable alternative)

 

 Be fiscally prudent given the current state and national economic climate.
