Administrative History
The Thruway Authority's public relations function started in 1950 when the Authority was created.
The administrative structure of this program has changed several times, and had the following titles: Public Relations (1950-1953), Department of Public Information and Business Promotion (1954-1958, 1967), Department of Public Information (1959-1966, 1968), Department of Information and Commercial Affairs (1969-1978), and Department of Information (1979-1985). Its functions have remained constant: the distribution of information about the Thruway to the public and promotion of support for and use of the road.
