Second Circuit -- Selevan, et. al v. New York Thruway Authority (NYTA), et al.

Discount on toll bridge for island residents doesn't violate Dormant Commerce Clause.

Nonresidents' comparatively higher tolls give standing.

No strict scrutiny, as not a significant restriction on travel.

Toll discount sufficiently relates to actual usage and cost.
