"NYC Small Business Owners Challenge MTA's Congestion Pricing with Lawsuit"
TL;DR
The MTA has installed advanced tolling technology in Manhattan for its upcoming congestion pricing program, using E-ZPass readers and infrared cameras to track and toll vehicles entering the designated zone below 60th Street. The system can automatically detect vehicle size and type to apply the appropriate toll rate, with the goal of generating $1 billion annually for MTA projects. Despite legal challenges, the MTA plans to launch the program in June and has expressed concerns about potential toll evasion.
