Upgrade to a mode-S transponder and then display the TIS information on
your moving map. The entire NY State Thruway corridor, including your home
airport, is covered by the TIS network.

That assumes that this system will be around a while. Seems like it
or something like it is not long for this world so buying equipment to
use it may not be worth it.
